Ambassador Nathalie Chuard will be joining DCAF as our new Director on 1 March. A seasoned Swiss diplomat, she is currently Ambassador of Switzerland in Bangladesh. She has worked in many countries in which we have been engaged, including as a Head of Mission for Terre des Hommes Foundation in Iran and as Head of Research for the Temporary International Presence in Palestine. We very much look forward to welcoming her to the team.
27 Jan 2023We were delighted to meet with Jonathan Lacote, Deputy Director General for Political Affairs of the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs, to discuss France’s ongoing support for our work. France has been a member of DCAF’s Foundation Council since our founding in 2000, is a member of the ISSAT International Partners’ Group, and supports the Trust Fund for North Africa which funds SSG/R reform initiatives in Egypt, Libya, Morocco and Tunisia. We are grateful for their ongoing commitment to good security sector governance, especially in fragile and conflicted affected environments.
27 Jan 2023Civil society representatives and members of the Defence and Finance parliamentary committees gathered this week in Mauritania to discuss the importance of effective financial oversight of the security sector in the Sahel region. Transparent and accountable resource management is a core component of good governance and essential for building citizen’ confidence in the defense and security forces and the state itself. We will also support the participation of a Mauritanian delegation of oversight actors at an upcoming regional conference on transparent and responsible resource management.
26 Jan 2023This week the Supreme School of Internal Security Forces of the Tunisian Ministry of Interior organized a seminar on human resources governance in the Internal Security Forces (ISF). As part of a broader modernisation and strategic reform process, Ministry representatives assessed current HR practices for the different ISF structures and reviewed lessons learned from other countries. It was part of our long-term partnership with the Ministry of Interior to support good governance, integrity, and accountability in line with international norms and standards. This project is funded through the DCAF Trust Fund for North Africa.
26 Jan 2023We benefit from the generous loan of a Geneva police expert who brings the Swiss experience to our partners around the world. Our current secondee, Olivier Prevosto, has provided advice on special investigative measures in Bosnia, police investigations in Zimbabwe, and security frameworks in the Philippines. Last week we were pleased to welcome President Mauro Poggia and Redouane Saadi, Deputy Secretary-General of the Département de la sécurité, de la population et de la santé, to thank them in person for the valuable contribution to our work.
