New DCAF Annual Report 2023

DCAF’s annual report shares highlights from another year supporting people-centred security through 3 lenses:

Thinking: DCAF helps bridge the gap between policy and practice through empirically grounded comparative research and analysis, such as on emerging challenges in the regulation of private military and security companies.
Implementing: In 16 field offices on four continents, DCAF works hand-in-hand with local partners to design and implement reforms that will make people safer in their communities, foster confidence in governments, help prevent conflict, and lay the foundations for sustainable development. The Annual Report includes key snapshots of our work on private sector accountability.
Influencing: Since its founding in 2000, DCAF has supported shaping the understanding of the process and dynamics of security and justice reform, and its centrality to the creation of peace and sustainable development. DCAF’s research and analysis informs the creation and evolution of international norms, standards, and best practices including on business' respect for human rights.
