- contribute adequately to the development of security sector strategies and policies,
- advance the legislative and regulatory development of the security sector in a swift and responsive manner, 
- engage in meaningful coordination and oversight of security sector agencies.

Pillar 2. Strategic management capacities and integrity building in the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) and General Police Inspectorate (GPI)

Pillar 3. Sustained and informed public debate on the objectives and results of security sector reform and governance processes

The programme will support relevant bodies to reconcile the democratic requirement for transparency with the equally important constraint of protecting classified information and improve their communication with the public. The MIA, GPI, SSC and the Defence Committee especially have an important and sensitive role to play in safeguarding and responding to the citizens right to know how state bodies protect national interests and spend public funds.
