Webtalk: Operational linkages and synergies between disaster risk reduction and security sector reform and governance
What are the advantages and challenges of the role of the security sector in disaster risk readiness and response, including delivering relief in fragile countries? What are the limitations and oversight mechanisms of the security sector’s engagement to ensure accountability and an inclusive approach respectful of human rights? How can local ownership be strengthened, and human security concerns stay at the centre of Security Sector Reform (SSR) and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR)? Beyond delivering relief, what vision can be realized in terms of building trust, social cohesion and peacebuilding?
