At the request of the National Commission (NatCom) on Small Arms in Cote d’Ivoire, UNREC initiated a project entitled 'Strengthening SALW Control in Côte d'Ivoire'. The project aims to: 1) evaluate and rehabilitate four police security stations; 2) equip three rehabilitated sites for stockpile management; 3) complete an examination of the number of arms held by private security companies in the country; 4) train defense and security forces operating along the border; and, 5) develop a guide on best practice standards in stockpile management for the NatCom.
