Descripción de la actividad

The training was supported by the Bonn International Center for Conversion (BICC) and organized by the Regional Centre on Small Arms (RECSA) in collaboration with the Uganda National Focal Point on Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) and the Multinational Small Arms Group (MSAG). The training was attended by 27 members of the Ugandan military. The major objective of the training was to improve the capacity of the Republic of Uganda to assess stockpiles, operational procedures and infrastructure and provide ways for potential improvements to stockpile security and management. In the course of the training, participants learned how to plan and execute interventions to improve safety and security of storage facilities and stockpiles. The teaching modules were based on international standards for safe and secure storage of arms and ammunition (International Small Arms Control Standards and International Ammunition Technical Guidelines, ISACS / IATG). During a field practical exercise at an armory near the College of Logistics and Engineering, the participants had the opportunity to make use of their newly acquired knowledge.
