Three Main SSR Lessons can be drawn from The Gambia. A thread on #SSRReflections: @gb_decarvalho @aleijenaar1 https://twitter.com/issafrica/status/1338780855045599233
1. Strategic Coordination matters: coordination challenges are both the cause and consequence of a slow pace in terms of SSR processes. #SSRReflections @priyal_singh @LindyHeinecken
States must establish a coherent national vision on which implementation partners can base their project designs, thereby establishing priorities and sequencing.
To support this, there must be a sustained high level political engagement by international partners.
2. Consistent national leadership matters: frequent changes in leadership create an unstable environment where the making and implementation of decisions is compromised. @SimsNono @tiscornia21 #SSRReflections
Consistent leadership, on the other hand, enhances coordination and boosts morale within implementation parties.
To establish this, implementing departments must be protected from political dynamics.

3. Platforms for citizen engagement are critical for creating coordinated inclusion in the SSR processes. @andreaterenzio @LibanAHussein #SSRReflections
No state can say its SSR process is nationally owned without making efforts to promote civil society and media engagement in the SSR. @ZiyandaS_ @lindsaypcohn
