DCAF joined partners in Bangladesh to wrap up the evaluation of the EU-funded “Acceleration to Justice” programme, implemented by UNDP. On this occasion, we met with Indra Mani Pandey, Secretary-General of the Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC), for an exchange on DCAF’s work in Asia and BIMSTEC’s current priorities. The meeting offered valuable insights into regional cooperation and the role of justice and security sector governance.

On 18 September, the three Geneva Centres — DCAF, GCSP, and GICHD — came together to mark a shared legacy of advancing global peace, security, and humanitarian action.
The event brought together high-level representatives and partners, including Alfonso Gomez, Mayor of Geneva; Nathalie Fontanet, State Councillor; Alexandre Fasel, State Secretary; and Martin Pfister, Federal Councillor. This was followed by a panel discussion entitled 'Why the Geneva Centres matter more than ever', featuring the three Centres' Directors.
DCAF had the honour of welcoming Federal Councillor Martin Pfister to our Geneva headquarters. The visit reaffirmed Switzerland’s strong commitment to accountable, transparent, and inclusive security institutions.
Discussions focused on Ukraine, gender and security, peacekeeping, and training. Switzerland, which created DCAF 25 years ago, remains our key partner in advancing democratic security sector governance worldwide.
Earlier this month, 19 participants from Moldova’s Ministry of Internal Affairs graduated from DCAF’s training-of-trainers programme on integrity and gender.
