COUNTRY INSIGHTS SERIES


In November   2016, the Government  of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria in cooperation with UNIDIR and
the Bonn  International Center for Conversion (BICC),
implemented  a  national Weapons  and Ammunition
Management   (WAM)  baseline assessment in the Fed-
eral Republic of Nigeria. Led by national authorities, the
objectives of this round of consultations were to estab-
lish a baseline of the existing WAM activities and pro-
cedures in place, to identify areas to be strengthened,
and  to present recommendations  for programmatic
and  policy responses to build a national framework
governing the management  of arms and ammunition.

The national consultation offered the opportunity for
representatives, experts, and practitioners from various
Nigerian institutions and security agencies to engage
in dialogue, build trust, and improve needed coopera-
tion between them to design and implement a strong
national WAM framework. The exchanges and informa-
tion provided in the course of the national consulta-
tion and bilateral meetings with senior representatives
of relevant national institutions with WAM oversight,
were consolidated into a report and shared with the
