The Future of SSR: An e-Conference

e-Conference spawns new online project on Security Sector Reform

April 28, 2010 - The Security Sector Governance Project at CIGI is pleased to announce the launch of an exciting new online initiative - The Security Sector Reform Resource Centre.

The impetus for the site came from the successful e-Conference on "The Future of Security Sector Reform" held on Governance Village in May 2009. Through that event, participants helped to identify the lack of a common space for the sharing of information, ideas and lessons learned as a gap in the development of the SSR concept.

Among the features of the site are:

• A blog highlighting recent developments in the SSR field
• A calendar listing SSR-related events across the world
• Country profiles for countries/regions undergoing SSR
• Multimedia content, including video and audio interviews of SSR experts
• Access to CIGI's SSR research, including the quarterly SSR Monitor
