Small Arms Survey assistance to build national capacity to develop brokering controls in African countries
The Small Arms Survey, with funding from UNSCAR and as part of the project 'Building National Capacity to Develop Brokering Controls', conducted training workshops in Namibia and Zambia in June 2017 and in Ghana in December 2017. Around 70 people attended the workshops and participants represented broad cross-sections of relevant national ministries and organizations in each country.
In preparation, a background paper was produced for each workshop, tailored to address the country’s situation with regards to brokering regulation.
After each workshop, the Survey provided the partner country with a report that summarized the participants’ deliberations and included recommendations for brokering provisions for national legislation.
The project 'Building National Capacity to Develop Brokering Controls' was implemented by the Small Arms Survey and funded by UNSCAR in 2017. It aimed to build awareness and understanding on the nature and scope of the brokering commitments under the PoA and the ATT in Ghana, Namibia and Zambia.
