SESSION III: DEMOCRACY AND
GOVERNANCE: JUSTICE AND SECURITY
Dr. Johanna Mendelson-Forman, PPC, Discussant
June 7, 2000
Sustainable security is a critical and fascinating issue. Conflict prevention is impossible unless agencies like USAID get security right. Altogether there are four issues that need to be examined. First, informed and timely analysis is largely lacking. How can effective analysis best be had? Second, donors need to take a security-first approach to governance. Third, the Agency should look at the stovepiping of our efforts in the DG sector. Lastly, the role of spoilers should be more closely scrutinized. Donors often fail to take spoilers into account.
