| Welcome to the GFN-SSR.org
Web Site |
The GFN-SSR team is delighted to be launching
the first phase of the GFN-SSR website. The website is a product
of a dynamic process that will be continuously built upon and
further developed. Within the first two months, we have succeeded
in providing facilities such as a database of institutions,
specialists, documents and journals, a calendar of events, a
discussion forum and some basic educational tools designed to
enhance the understanding of SSR and the comprehensive issues
that fall under this subject area. The website will also feature
an electronic Journal of Security Sector Reform to which we
hope all our users will add contributions. These contributions
will be reviewed by the GFN-SSR Advisory Group, which will also
serve as the Board of Editors.
The website will always feature a current events section on
the homepage. This section will provide information on activities
such as recent SSR conferences and seminars, the current edition
of the newsletter, a critique on a recent piece of published
literature on SSR, job vacancies and profiles on institutions,
organisations and actors in the field.
It is our intention that the website develops into a truly global
facility to which all partner institutions, members and users
will contribute. By the third phase of the website’s development,
we envisage having a language translation facility and a sufficiently
advanced interactive mechanism that allows users from across
the globe to make instant contributions to all the website’s
facilities, such as the educational learning materials, journal
reviews and critiques, ‘experiences from the field’
and commentary for our quarterly newsletter. However, we hope
that these contributions begin immediately and are sent through
to our Information Manager, Nick Luft, for immediate processing.
We are a global facility ready to serve as an information repository
and assist your learning needs. If there is anything that you
would like to see provided by the website, please send your
request to and we will respond as quickly
as possible. |
