Organized by UNREC, the aim of the training course on the International Ammunition Technical Guidelines (IATG) was to raise awareness and knowledge of national authorities and personnel who deal with conventional ammunition on a daily basis, so that they bring enhanced ammunition management practices and skills with them to their places of work. Personnel responsible for ammunition and explosive ordnance destruction from twelve countries from East and Southern Africa joined together with staff members from the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) and a representative from the Mines Advisory Group (MAG) to take part in this training course.The training took place at the United Nations Office in Nairobi, Kenya.
