Conclusions

Civil Society plays a crucial role in
SSG. It contributes to making the

Security Sector and the Government transparent, accountable, representative, effective, efficient, legitimate democratic.

Civil society needs space and

tools to fulfil its SSG role.

Without a healthy and active civil

society, there is no democracy.
