PROGRAMME BUILDING LOCAL CAPACITY FOR SECURITY AND RULE OF LAW IN FRAGILE AND CONFLICT AFFECTED STATES Tuesday 22 – Friday 25 September 2009 958th WILTON PARK CONFERENCE In partnership with Libra Advisory Group Ltd With support from the Center for Civil-Military Relations and the Office of the Secretary of Defense for Policy, US Department of Defense; the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada. Conference Objectives The international community has been involved in attempts to strengthen the provision of security and justice in developing, conflict-affected and fragile states for many years; but there is still disagreement regarding the methodology and objectives of this work, and debate around the terminology which describes it. The term Security Sector Reform has become widely identified with donor-driven and controlled initiatives, and does not accommodate the crucial (for the citizen) connection between security and justice. This conference is aimed at informing and influencing the international community as well as host country stakeholders regarding the broader delivery of "security and justice sector development" (SJD) across a range of fragile and conflict-affected environments by examining: how to ensure greater local ownership and capacity development in the context of fragile and conflict- affected environments, including through the use of international assistance; how to balance local ownership trade-offs and dilemmas in the assessment, planning and implementation of SJD programmes; how host nations and donors can better align development of the security and justice sectors; and how donors can develop and direct their capacities to provide better advice and assistance to host nations.
