About Security & Resilience Practice

The Security & Resilience Practice delivers programmes that help governments, institutions, and communities respond to complex security, governance, and resilience challenges. Our work spans a range of thematic areas, including defence and security sector support, national resilience, governance, and community security, often in fragile and conflict-affected environments.
