DCAF's first performance report sought to demonstrate the positive impacts of DCAF’s work on security sector governance (SSG), notably in some of the most fragile and conflict-affected regions.

This is the first report in a series of annual performance assessments under the implementation of results-based management (RBM) at the corporate level. In providing an overview of programmes, projects and activities undertaken, and outlining the medium-term results achieved in 2016, it enhances accountability and transparency towards national and international stakeholders with which DCAF partnered in 2016. The report also laid the empirical foundations that help build insights into the effectiveness and sustainability of DCAF’s work.
