Security sector reform (SSR) and small arms and lights |
|
weapons (SALW) reduction and control programmes have |
|
become staples of peacebuilding policy and practice in |
|
fragile, failed and conflict-affected states (FFCAS). |
|
There is wide agreement in the peacebuilding field that |
|
the two areas are intricately interconnected and mutually |
|
reinforcing. However, this consensus has rarely |
|
translated into integrated programming on the ground. |
|
Drawing on a diverse set of case studies, this paper |
|
presents a renewed argument for robust integration of SSR |
|
and SALW programming. The failure to exploit innate |
|
synergies between the two areas in the field has not |
|
merely resulted in missed opportunities to leverage |
|
scarce resources and capacity, but has caused significant |
|
programmatic setbacks that have harmed wider prospects |
|
for peace and stability. With the SSR model itself in a |
|
period of conceptual transition, the time is ripe for |
|
innovation. A renewed emphasis on integrating SSR and |
|
SALW programming in FFCAS, while not a wholly new idea, |
|
represents a potential avenue for change that could |
|
deliver significant dividends in the field. The paper |
|
offers some preliminary ideas on how to achieve this |
|
renewed integration in practice. |
