The environment in which this work is being done has changed dramatically, needs are many and urgent, and resources are limited. Practitioners need guidance that fits the current context and helps them to determine \u003cem\u003ewhat to do, \u003c\/em\u003e and more specifically, \u003cem\u003ewhere to start\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe guide proposes ten goals for defense sector reform, each of which identifies a place to start and details how to implement programming across a range of country contexts. The goals include: (1) democratic control, (2) civilian oversight, (3) legislative and judicial oversight, (4) coordination and management, (5) functioning logistics, (6) defense planning, (7) financial management, (8) the right people, (9) strategy generation, and (10) military effectiveness. Examples from Colombia, Georgia, Iraq, Libya, Mali, and Tunisia help practitioners translate this guidance into effective programming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe manual closes with a discussion about starting and sequencing programming if there are many urgent and important needs and avoiding some programming pitfalls. Key issues include how to define success, generate political will, understand formal and informal systems, and balance the trade-offs between achieving fast results and sustainable change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 232\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 15, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48261509218525,"sku":"9798986025001","price":58.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/virMPg9z139798986025001.webp?v=1785076926","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/a-practitioners-guide-to-defense-sector-reform-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
