“MULTI-STAKEHOLDER (NOMINAL-GROUP) DISCUSSIONS”. EMPHASIS ON DIGITALIZATION PROCESS AND ITS ROLE IN ENHANCING TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY OF THE SECURITY SECTOR
On 1st July 2022 in Skopje, the Cyber Security, Corporate Security and Crisis Management Initiative -C3I Skopje organized a one-day research workshop entitled “Multi-stakeholder analysis via multi-stakeholder (nominal-group) discussions through customized scenario-based exercise”.
The aim of the workshop was to promote a multi-stakeholder approach, multi-institutional problem solving and collaborative brainstorming through the unique structured method of nominal-group discussions. This approach helped to generate ideas, exchange reflections among representatives of different security institutions and independent actors (CSOs, media and academic community) and stimulated testing and reconsideration of the established practices in relation to the process of digitalization and its role in enhancing the transparency and accountability of the security sector.
This type of activity is part of the broader intervention entitled “Enhancing the Intelligence and Security Sector Reforms in North Macedonia through Active System Analysis and Multi-Stakeholder Reflections” that is implemented by C3I and encompasses several research activities including baseline contextual study and activities for enhancing public trust.
The intervention is implemented with the support and mentorship of DCAF – Geneva Center for Security Sector Governance as part of the Intelligence and Security Sector Reform Programme in the Republic of North Macedonia (2021-2026) and supported by Switzerland, Sweden, Netherlands, and European Union.
