Activity description

As part of the second phase of the European Union’s P2P ATT Outreach Project, Expertise France organised its third workshop in Senegal, on 30 and 31 October 2019, in Dakar.

Dedicated to interagency cooperation, this workshop brought together eleven representatives of the main Senegalese authorities involved in conventional arms transfer controls, as well as a team of three experts .

Through an exercise simulating coordination between two fictional entities (representing licensing and border control services), facing an illegal transfer of arms , the participants had the opportunity to:
-    Put into practice communication and information sharing mechanisms in controlling arms transfers and combating illicit activities; 
Discuss the current state and expected developments of the Senegalese system to control conventional arms transfers (pending the adoption of a law implementing the ATT);
