Background
- A major global prerequisite for peace and the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is the effective control of Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW). Peace and security challenges in West Africa are primarily about responding to the threat of/and actual violent conflicts, as well as building sustainable human security for all within and across national boundaries.
- The proliferation of Small Arms and Light Weapons constitutes one of the major security challenges currently facing the ECOWAS region and its neighbouring regional blocks. The trafficking and wide availability of these weapons fuel communal conflict which create political instability and pose a threat, not only to national security, but also to sustainable development. Despite significant efforts undertaken by ECOWAS over the years, the fight against the trafficking of small arms and light weapons continues to prove a major challenge to the growth and development path of many sub-Saharan countries. Earlier initiatives undertaken by ECOWAS, funded by EU and implemented by UNDP under the 10th EDF provided support to selected member states.
- UNDP with funding support from the German Federal Foreign Office conducted a regional mapping study across the ECOWAS member states to identify all stakeholders and the myriad interventions on SALW in West Africa as a basis for ensuring coherent responses to preventing the proliferation and use of SALW in conflict.
- This will also provide the ECOWAS Conflict Prevention Framework Database and the Prevention of Violent Extremism programme (PVE) with critical information in the form of specific country actors, issues, arms dynamics, interventions, successes, impacts, and lessons.
