As part of the second phase of the UN Regional Centre for Peace and Disarmament in Africa's (UNREC) Technical Assistance to the Government of Mali project, which focused on the implementation of the National Action Plan on SALW, UNREC conducted a review of SALW legislation and assisted the CNLPAL in drafting new SALW legislation, in accordance with the ECOWAS Convention on SALW and in line with ISACS and IATG guidelines.

Project description

UNREC's project on 'Technical Assistance to the Government of Mali on Small Arms Control/Support to the National Commission on SALW' follows three phases. The first phase, which aimed at re-operationalizing the Malian National Commission on SALW (NatCom), resulted in the approval of a National Action Plan (NAP) on SALW in February 2014. The second phase of the project (July 2014 - February 2015) aimed at supporting the Government of Mali to implement its NAP in accordance with international arms control mechanisms. Phase three of the project aims to support the NatCom in the marking and registering of SALW in Mali and the development of standard operating procedures for the management of imported weapons.
