First Training Session of the ATT Academy by Control Arms
The first training session of the ATT Academy focused on the first several articles of the ATT, emphasizing the Treaty’s Scope as well as Articles 6 and 7. Discussion groups, homework assignments and participatory exercises enabled participants to ask questions and relate ATT obligations to their national contexts. The workshop also identified links between small arms proliferation, the ATT and wildlife poaching, a serious problem in many East African nations. The participants will meet in late 2016 for a second training that will likely focus more on import and transit obligations, diversion and reporting. There will be two webinars during the interim period as well as a regular email check-in.
The ATT Academy brings together representatives from governments, including police, military and small arms bureaus, as well a diverse group of civil society organizations affiliated with Control Arms in order to build capacity for effective implementation of the ATT. The project aims at providing the participants with more knowledge about the Treaty, enhance their skills and have interactive discussions on the ATT, especially regarding the opportunities and obstacles, as well as share good practices from their countries. The ATT Academy includes two in-person training sessions as well as several online training opportunities over a six-month period, seeking to increase the level of technical knowledge on the ATT and promote universalization.
