Improving Methodologies to Assess SSR Needs
At the recent Whitehall Policy Seminar that was held on 9 January in London, a recurring theme that arose was the lack of a robust methodology for those tasked with undertaking scoping missions or assessments of a country’s security sector. For example, individuals who in the past have been tasked with defining the needs for defence reform now recognise the different recommendations that can be produced when the views of all relevant government organs are solicited, as opposed to just the defence sector. Central agencies, such as the Office for Procurement or the Treasury, must also be included to analyse public expenditure practices.
