SDC Contribution to DCAF for an expert of the Latin America/Caribbean Region 2017-2020
SDC has a strategic partnership with DCAF since 2011 with a core contribution of yearly around CHF 11 million. DCAF works on the interface between security and development policy, a domain of increasing importance for SDC. The expert offered by SDC will focus on developing DCAF’s relationship and cooperation with current and future donors and on building up a Latin America and Caribbean division (LAC), where the fragility of states, governance of security institutions and violence in general is a key challenge for development.

| Hintergrund |
DCAF, the center for Security, Development and Rule of Law is one of three Geneva Center’s for security policy founded around 2000 as Switzerland’s contribution to international security policy. Since 2011 SDC is responsible for the management of the core contribution, stocked by an own framework credit. DCAF is one of the world’s leading center of excellence for the reform and governance of the security sector at the interface of security and development policy. The nexus between development and security gains even more importance for SDC with the incresed focus on fragile contexts. For this reason SDC offers an expert to DCAF to 1) elaborate on DCAF’s relationship and cooperation with current and future donors and 2) to build up a Latin America and Caribbean Division, where the fragility of states, governance of security institutions and violence in general is a key challenge for development. |
