This report offers an institutional framework based on five elements (interagency policy guidence; interagency assessment, plannning and programming, and evaluation; flexible funding mechnisms; interagency structures; and human capital) for the US government to use in providing security sector assistance to its partners. The report assumes that the security of the United States depends in part on how well it helps partner countries meet their basic security needs and how effectively those states provide their populations with safety, security, and justice. The report examines progress made to date in each of the five areas and identifies gaps remaining within the US government.
