KATHMANDU: Nepal Center for Security Governance (NCSG) and Geneva Center for Security Sector Governance (DCAF) organized a three-day-long South Asia Security Sector Governance Forum in Dhulikhel, from September 5 to 7, 2019.
Security sector experts and delegates from seven South Asian countries shared their knowledge, experiences and best practices on security sector reform and development, according to a press statement issued by NCSG.
The Forum provided an avenue to facilitate region-wide exchange and debate on common security sector governance challenges, opportunities and reform requirements for the South Asian region as a whole and individual country in particular.
Discourse on the security sector is changing and traditional security challenges have evolved to a next level following advancement in technology and easy access to information sharing platforms, the statement said.
To address these growing challenges more innovative approaches are required and good governance practices need to be adopted to enhance human skills, incorporate technologies, respect individual privacy and, most importantly assure clearly defined policies and civilian/parliamentary oversight mechanisms.
