The objective of the workshop was to update PI messages on SALW control and DDR to the current situation, and to develop new PI messages on arms registration and marking and community security/stabilisation. The outcome of the workshop were new sets of PI messages in Arabic tailored for the community level in Darfur addressing topics such as safe weapon storage, responsible weapon owning, and the importance of arms registration and marking.
