On the one hand, they constitute a significant part of the economy and the security sector of many developing countries. Private security thus immediately has an impact on a number of development-related factors, i.e. economic growth, social welfare and overall feelings of public safety. On the other hand, development agencies themselves increasingly rely on the services of private security companies. In some partner countries, missions of the United Nations (UN), bilateral donors, and international non-governmental organizations (INGOs) are even among the principal customers of commercial security services. Hence, they are directly implicated in the wider social and economic effects of the private security industry. How should development actors deal with private security companies? This BICC publication summarizes the main findings from field research on private security companies in three developing countries: Timor-Leste, Liberia and Peru. Each summary focuses on the specific relations between development cooperation and private security. The particular challenges, which the private security industry presents to development agencies, vary from case to case. Based on the country-specific findings, this publication concludes by outlining different options for how development cooperation can successfully align private security companies with more general developmental objectives.
