COUNTRY INSIGHTS SERIES


In July 2019, the Government of the Republic of Gha-
na in cooperation with UNIDIR, implemented a na-
tional weapons and ammunition management   base-
line assessment in Ghana. Led by national authorities,
in particular by the Ghana National Commission on
Small Arms (NACSA), the objectives of this round of
consultations were to establish a baseline of the exist-
ing Weapons  and Ammunition  Management   (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 in Ghana 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 na-
tional consultation and bilateral meetings with senior
representatives of relevant national institutions with
WAM   oversight, were consolidated into a report and
shared with the Government of Ghana to support its
efforts in improving its national weapons and ammu-
nition framework.

ment report delivered to
