DDG strives to identify safety and security needs from the perspective of those living in conflict areas and engage communities to help them find non-violent solutions and address the root causes of conflict and local safety and security challenges.

DRC/DDG has been working in Libya and Tunisia since 2011 to address community safety and enhance community resilience in Tunisia-Libya borderlands. End 2018 DDG expanded its program into other cities in Libya focusing on community dialogue and the establishment of a national network of local security stakeholders, as part of a security sector reform (SSR) project. After the finalization of an actor mapping that is currently being conducted, DDG plans to convene a wide range of local Libyan security providers and recipients of security provision in community dialogues aimed at generating diverse perspectives on the challenges, gaps and existing community capacities in security provision and for SSR planning and action. This examination of security governance capabilities will inform a second batch of community dialogue forums investing in a participatory visioning process for future SSR planning and action, each forum centering on a key theme for security sector planning.
