The security sector encompasses various institutions such as the military, police, intelligence agencies, and judicial bodies. These are the backbone of a state capable of ensuring its territorial integrity and providing security and conditions for a dignified life to its citizens and visitors. These institutions also play a vital part in upholding democratic principles and practices.
Hence, the strengthening of the security sector whilst maintaining democratic oversight over it is of utmost significance for any democracy in transition.
CSD actively supports the enhancement of human security by promoting greater accountability among security-related actors and implementing new methodologies and best practices.
