As part of the second phase of the EU-ATT Outreach Project (EU-ATT OP II), Expertise France organized an initial visit to Lomé, Togo on 1-2 August, 2018, with the aim to establish a roadmap for the years 2018-2020. The meeting consisted of official visits to the Ministry of Defence, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Minister responsible for the interior (Ministre de la Sécurité et de la Protection Civile) and of broad discussions with and presentations by representatives from the national ministries and agencies, and international experts from France and Belgium. The meeting decided on a plan to implement four assistance activities during 2018-2020 to support the national implementation of the ATT.

Descripción del Proyecto

The goal of 'EU ATT Outreach Project' is to support the early entry into force and effective implementation of the ATT. Upon request, the project supports a number of States in strengthening their arms transfer control systems with a view to being able to implement the ATT. The project also aims to increase awareness and ownership of the ATT at national and regional levels and therein contribute to its universalisation. A second edition of the project was initiated on 29 May 2017 by Council Decision 2017/915 and it is co-implemented by BAFA and Expertise France. The EU ATT Outreach Project has three different components: 1) Tailored National Assistance Programmes; 2) Ad-hoc Activities; and 3) Regional Seminars. National assistance programmes are developed in close cooperation with partner countries. Key elements of national assistance programmes are: an initial needs assessment visit; inclusive roadmap development; and, practical support follow up activities.
