| My expertise is in the field of security sector reform (SSR), both as a set of policies and as individual programmatic approaches to reforming military, police, intelligence, judicial and oversight actors. My work focuses on local level implementation of SSR in Sierra Leone's Kono District, and how security as a public service is being provided by state and non-state actors.
