Small Arms and Light Weapons Control and Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Public Information Workshop in Khartoum
The Bonn International Center for Conversion (BICC) held a one-day workshop in collaboration with the Sudan DDR Commission (SDDRC) on Public Information (PI) about small arms (SALW) control and disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) in Darfur. The objective of the workshop was to update PI messages on SALW control and DDR to the current situation, and to develop new PI messages on arms registration and marking and community security/stabilisation. The outcome of the workshop were new sets of PI messages in Arabic tailored for the community level in Darfur addressing topics such as safe weapon storage, responsible weapon owning, and the importance of arms registration and marking. The workshop was held in Khartoum, Sudan.
