Security Sector Reform

Security Sector Reform is a comprehensive process of improving the accountability, oversight, and effectiveness of a state’s security institutions—such as the military, police, and intelligence agencies—within a democratic and rule-of-law framework, distinguishing it from related security or justice initiatives by its focused transformation of the entire security architecture to align with civilian control, human rights standards, and the needs of communities in post-conflict or fragile settings.
