The Burundi-Netherlands Security Sector Development (SSD) programme was established in
April 2009 with the signing of an eight-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between
the two governments. The MoU laid out a number of strategic objectives for the programme,
the attainment of which would strengthen the governance of Burundi’s security sector. With
its governance orientation, the SSD adheres more closely to the original security sector
reform (SSR) concept, which emphasised transparency and accountability, than many other
SSR programmes do.
