Center for Strategic Leadership Issue Paper December 2006, Volume 11-06. Belize 2021 National Security Framework: Strengthening the Links between Policy, Resource Allocation, and Execution. Belize National Security Strategy Formulation Process Workshop #3

On November 7, 2006 strategic planners representing Belizes security organizations and other government agencies reconvened to address the final piece of their National Security Strategy formulation process. Meeting in Belize City, these planners spent the next three and one-half days discussing the assignment of policy objectives and supporting agencies and recommendations for a redesigned national security framework capable of executing and monitoring security policy. In order to formulate recommended changes that would strengthen the executive branchs strategic planning capabilities, planners reviewed current Belizean government processes and organizations and studies examples of foreign national security systems. As in the two previous workshops conducted in June and August 2006, they were assisted by teams from the US Army War College and the United Kingdoms Ministry of Defense Security Sector Development Team.
