Great opportunity with DCAF based in Beirut!

DCAF was in #Dhaka this December to talk with our partners at the Bangladesh Institute for Peace and Security Studies and meet with our other partners in the region.

We spoke about ongoing #policereform efforts, & on what is needed to regain public #trust in policing. We also discussed #democraticoversight of the security sector, better integrating #gender perspectives & addressing gender-based violence in the Bangladeshi #securitysector, and the role of #media as oversight actors.

We are proud to support our partner BIPSS & #Bangladesh in the ongoing transition and look forward to continuing & deepening our engagement.
