Specific Objective: Generate, systematize and disseminate knowledge on the regulation, market size and public-private interaction of the private security sector in LAC. Generate knowledge and obtain expert feedback to establish a regional baseline on private security regulation and market size, by identifying deficiencies and possible areas of action for the IDB Group. Close knowledge gaps on public-private security interactions, by preparing an IDB Group Position Paper—developed jointly with IDB Invest—. Disseminate knowledge and promote structured public–private collaboration in support of citizen security across the region, by strengthening dialogue among key stakeholders.
