handle is hein.unl/bfgam0001 and id is 1 raw text is: COUNTRY INSIGHTS SERIES In July and August 2018, the Government of Burkina Faso in cooperation with UNIDIR implemented a na- tional Weapons and Ammunition Management (WAM) baseline assessment in Burkina Faso. Led by national authorities, in particular the National Commission for the Fight against the Proliferation of Small Arms (CNLPAL), the objectives of this round of consultations were to establish a baseline of existing WAM activities and procedures in place, to identify ar- eas to be strengthened, and to present recommenda- tions for policy and programmatic responses to build a national framework governing the management of arms and ammunition. The series of consultations offered the opportunity for representatives, experts and practitioners from various institutions and security agencies within Burkina Faso 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 and bilateral meetings with senior representatives of relevant national institutions with WAM oversight, were consolidated into a report and shared with the Government of Burkina Faso to support its efforts in improving its national weapons and ammunition framework. 11111 ~ This publication is an extract of the baseline assessment report de- livered to the national authorities of Burkina Faso.
