Stabilisation Issues Notes

Stabilisation Issues Notes provide a short summary of what the Stabilisation Unit has learned to date and what we think is good practice. They suggest approaches and issues for working on specific topics in a stabilisation context, particularly for those who are newer to the subject or have worked on it in a different context. They have been developed in consultation with other parts of the UK Government (HMG). They are aimed primarily at the Stabilisation Unit’s own practitioners and consultants, and those of other HMG departments. They are not HMG policy.

Issues Notes

• Security Sector and Rule of Law
• Human Rights
• Demobilisation, Disarmament and Reintegration (DDR)

To follow soon

• Reviving Public Administration
• Strategic Communication
• Quick Impact Projects (QIPs)

A Note on Stabilisation through Private Sector Development will also be available shortly.

We aim to continue to refresh and update these Notes as experience and lessons are gained. In particular we are currently working to deepen our understanding of the role of women and children in the issues discussed in the Notes.
