Strategic Capacity Group is a security sector nonprofit working globally in support of the United States to advance security, increase partner self-reliance, and deliver results. SCG works with partners, including police, gendarme, military, corrections, and border security forces and institutions, in highly challenging environments and under imperative strategic circumstances, to embed knowledge and processes so they can be replicated over time and sustained by the recipient after assistance ends. Dr. Querine Hanlon founded SCG in 2013 on the premise that donor and recipient efforts are most sustainable and successful when assistance is designed and delivered as part of a strategic capacity building approach. Dr. Hanlon’s capacity building and institution building experience in government and implementing programs for both the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Department of State shaped SCG’s mission and SCG’s articulation of a clear problem – solution set. Reflected in both the name and mission of the organization, strategic capacity building transforms security sectors by building human capacity through training and develops institutional capacity by strengthening processes such as operations, planning, training, human resources, and budgeting. By embedding tools and the know-how to use them into institutional processes, SCG ensures reforms can be replicated. Put simply, SCG’s goal is “change that sticks.” SCG is at the forefront of shaping the future of security sector reform through innovative programming. From its first border security project in Tunisia, SCG’s programming has expanded worldwide. SCG consistently delivers excellence and value in highly challenging environments and under imperative strategic circumstances. At SCG, Return on Investment (ROI) guides design decisions across the project cycle. At SCG, we deliver. Quality. Results. Excellence.
