The ‘ATT Implementation Support Measures’ project is a long-term project financed by the German Federal Foreign Office and implemented by the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA) since 2015. The project organizes various regional conferences, bilateral seminars and working meetings to discuss the ATT, to address current topics related to export control and facilitates regional cooperation to tackle transnational challenges, such as illicit trafficking in small arms and light weapons (SALW). By exchanging and sharing experiences about current efforts and challenges in the course of the ratification and effective implementation of the ATT, the project seeks to actively contribute to the universalization of the treaty.
