SSR Week 2025 | Security Sector Reform

SSR Week 2025 took place from 5 - 9 May, in the run-up to the Berlin UN Peacekeeping Ministerial. SSR Week focused on how SSR makes peacekeeping more effective and safer. Specifically, the campaign shared voices from a range of stakeholders, as well as examples from past and present peacekeeping operations, on the following topics.

During SSR Week 2025, we explored one of these topics each day. To learn more, check out the SSR Week 2025-specific Trello Board.
