1 Sierra Leone: Weapons and Ammunition Management 1 (2020)

handle is hein.unl/unsrrl0001 and id is 1 raw text is: COUNTRY INSIGHTS SERIES In September 2019, UNIDIR supported the implementation of a national Weapons and Ammunition Management (WAM) baseline assessment in Sierra Leone led by national authorities, in particular the Sierra Leone National Commission on Small Arms (SLeNCSA). The objective of this round of consultations was to establish a baseline of the existing WAM activities and procedures in place, identifying areas to be strengthened, and to present recommendations for policy and programmatic 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 Sierra Leonean institutions and security agencies to engage in dialogue, build trust, and improve needed cooperation between them to design and implement a strong national WAM framework. Upon invitation by the Republic of Sierra Leone Armed Forces, the baseline assessment expert team had the opportunity to visit the stores of the Armed Forces Training Center (AFTC) and observe the facility as well as procedures and processes in place. The exchanges and information provided in the course of the national consultation, bilateral meetings with senior representatives of relevant national institutions with WAM oversight and the visit to the AFTC, were consolidated into a report and delivered to the Government of the Republic of Sierra Leone to support its efforts in improving its national weapons and ammunition framework. UNIDIR would like to express its gratitude to the Government of Sierra Leone for SIERRA LEONE their facilitation and cooperation for the baseline assessment project.
