The Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces (DCAF) is a foundation that promotes good governance and the democratic reform and oversight of security sectors. It pursues these ends by providing in-country advisory support and practical assistance programs; developing and promoting norms, standards and best practices; conducting tailored policy research; and recommending ways to establish democratic security sector governance. DCAF books and monographs cover various aspects of all these activities.
