handle is hein.unl/undrcw0001 and id is 1 raw text is: COUNTRY INSIGHT SERIES In August 2016, the Government of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in cooperation with the United Nations Institute for Disarmament Research (UNIDIR) and the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), implemented a national Weapons and Ammunition (WAM) baseline assessment in the DRC. Led by national authorities, in particular the National Commission for Small Arms and Light Weapons Control and Armed Violence Reduction (CNC-APLC), the objectives of this round of consultations were to establish a baseline of existing WAM activities and procedures in place, to identify 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 institutions and security agencies within the DRC to engage in dialogue, build trust, and improve needed cooperation between them to design and implement a strong national WAM framework. The exchanges and information provided in the course of the national consultation, bilateral meetings with senior representatives of relevant national institutions with WAM oversight, were consolidated into a report and shared with the Government of the DRC to support its efforts in improving its national weapons and ammunition framework. This publication is an extract of the baseline assessment report delivered to the national autho- rities of the DRC. It is a snapshot of the summary of the main findings and options identified for the enhancement of weapons and ammu- nition management in the DRC. It presents the sta- tus of strategic and operational WAM efforts in the DRC as identified during the DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO KINSHASA POPULATION: 24478 MILLION REGION: CENTRAL AFRICA CAPITAL: KINSHASA ANNUAL GDP: 89.56 MILLION baseline assessment in August 2016 and highlights the practical recommendations provided to the authorities of the DRC.
