Description:
This project aims to reduce the illicit cross-border supply of Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALWs) to armed and terrorist groups in the Sahel region. Conflict Armament Research assists Burkina Faso and Niger’s security institutions to identify, analyze, and document cross-border SALWs and other ammunition flows through those 2 countries. The project aims to improve the capacity of security institutions in Burkina Faso and Niger to collect and share data on illicit trafficking of SALWs. It also seeks to increase awareness of illicit trafficking trends in the Sahel region. Project activities include: (1) training security personnel in Burkina Faso and Niger on documenting, identifying, analyzing, and tracing illicit SALW; and (2) providing SAWLs documentation equipment to security institutions, including evidence tags, hard drives, and cameras.

This includes strengthened evidence-based advocacy for better management of national stocks.
