On 3-4 June 2019, UNODC organized a "Specialized practical training on the investigation and prosecution of firearms trafficking and related offences" for Burkina Faso. The training was a joint effort with the National Commission on Small Arms of Burkina Faso and part of UNODC's continued support to the country's institutions that in the last year has included, among others, support to illicit firearm collection campaigns; marking and registration of firearms; as well as the construction of a transit stockpiling site for seized and confiscated firearms and ammunition.
