RECSA Cross Border Leaders Conference on Resources Management, Conflict Management and SALW proliferation control
On 23-26 March 2021, the Regional Centre for Small Arms (RECSA) held a Cross Border Leaders Conference on Resources Management, Conflict Management and SALW proliferation control, funded by the African Development Bank, in Entebbe, Uganda. The conference was attended by participants from Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan and Uganda. The objective of the Conference was to enable leaders across the region share experiences on the existing cross-border resource management challenges including illicit SALW proliferation and prioritize actions towards defining a durable solution for sustainable peace and development.
The 'Strengthening Regional and National Institutions for Reduction of Proliferation of Small Arms project', implemented by RECSA, with the financial support of the African Development Bank, addresses issues of fragility in the Horn of Africa and the Great Lakes region. This project aims to address the need to strengthen the capacity of Member States in the field of arms management. Particularly, the project supports strengthening the capacity of RECSA to coordinate SALW interventions and improved arms management by Member States (Somalia, South Sudan, Central African Republic and Democratic Republic of Congo). The project started on 2018 and will be implemented until 2022.
