RECSA Assessment Mission to Central African Republic
Under the 'African Development Bank Technical Assistance and Capacity Building to RECSA' (AfDB TCB-RECSA) project, RECSA conducted a mission to establish contacts for small arms interventions in the Central African Republic (CAR). The mission was part of implementation of the technical assistance and capacity building project. As one of its objectives, the project will support institutional capacity building of National Focal Points on Small Arms Control and Management (NFPs) in the Member States to boost efforts to prevent and combat proliferation of SALW.
The goal of the 'African Development Bank Technical Assistance and Capacity Building to RECSA' (AfDB TCB-RECSA) project is to strengthen the institutional capacity of RECSA and Member States to prevent and combat the proliferation of small arms and light weapons. The project has three main components: 1.Institutional strengthening and human capacity building for RECSA; 2.Operationalization of the Nairobi Protocol in selected fragile and non-fragile situations; and, 3.Project management. The aim of the project collaboration between AfDB and RECSA is to create a better understanding of the security-development nexus in Africa. The TCB-RECSA project is funded from the Transition Support Facility (TSF) managed by Bank’s Transition Support Department (ORTS).
