Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>The Gambia\u2019s National Security Adviser Baboucarr Jeng has reechoed government\u2019s commitment to the Security Sector Reform (SSR) process, saying it is a further demonstration of political will and leadership.<\/b><\/p>\n

Jeng was speaking on Wednesday at the National Dialogue Convergence for members of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) on the key SSR policy and strategic documents which include National Security Policy, National Security Strategy, Security Sector Reform Strategy, and National Defense Policy.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cThe Gambia government remains committed to the SSR process and will continue to demonstrate political will and leadership. Correspondingly, inclusivity is cardinal, and the office of the National Security mandated to lead the SSR process will continue to endeavour to collaborate and partner with the citizens of which CSOs could play a vital role as important stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Underscoring the importance of the event, he stated that the national dialogue is to implement recommendations that were agreed upon to create a common approach and develop the next steps towards implementing key recommendations such as enhancing effective communication, coordination, collaboration, and partnership.<\/p>\n

Jeng continued that the dialogue is also focused on developing a platform that will facilitate and enhance effective coordination between the Office of the National Security and CSOs on the SSR process.<\/p>\n

Miatta French, ECOWAS ambassador in the Gambia, also stated that ECOWAS has been a key partner of the Gambia\u2019s transformational agenda since 2017 and this includes SSR, saying this is the political and technical process of improving state and human security by applying the principles of good governance in the security sector.<\/p>\n

She says SSR means making security provisions, oversight and management more effective and accountable within democratic civilian control, the rule of law and respect for human rights.<\/p>\n

Ambassador Miatta continued: \u201cEvery country and society is different in pathway reforms but reforms usually include the combination of changes to laws, policies and practices, behavioural change through training and education of lawmakers, law enforcement and security forces. In this vein, the goal of SSR is to apply the principle of good governance to the security sector.\u201d<\/p>\n

SSR concerns all state and non-state actors involved in security provision, management and oversight, and emphasises the links between their roles, responsibilities and actions, she explains.<\/p>\n
