Netherlands

The Kingdom of the Netherlands supports the Near East South Asia Center for Strategic Studies (NESA) and the US Special Operations Command Africa (SOCAFRICA) in the planning and execution of a Workshop on Changing Nature of Conflicts in Casablanca.

The 3-day seminar (17-20 June) will focus on changing threats in the region and more specifically on how best to organize and professionalize the various security elements to best meet those threat and the realities of shrinking security/donor budgets.

For 2018 it was foreseen to develop and execute the SSR&VE pilot in the Hague.

The prep phase was done, however due to time constraints within ISSAT the pilot foreseen for 2018 was replaced to 4-8 February 2019.

The costs for this pilot were budgeted at around 30.000 for 2018. During a meeting with Victoria Walker the Dutch MFA requested if we could use that amount in 2019 for the pilot, since it was replaced. Ms. Walker shared with us that this is possible if we write up this new mandate.

The programme will be run from 29^th October to 9^th November 2018. The aim is to enhance participants’ effectiveness in the role of senior strategic police advisor to international police reform initiatives, through exposure to experienced actors in the field of police reform or security sector reform. The Masterclass programme uses case study methodology to enable participants to consider alternative perspectives in a variety of international police settings. The Masterclass also lays the foundation for active participation in a peer group community of practice that will help develop the field and offer a continuing source of professional support.

In addition, DCAF ISSAT will attend the Police Master class executive board meeting in Scotland on 9 November 2018 to review the future development of the Police Masteclass.
