Relevant contents

Weapons collection programmes, whether as part of voluntary disarmament or as a separate activity, remove illegal and unwanted SALW and their ammunition from communities by encouraging individuals—and communities as a whole—to relinquish them and rendering legal (e.g. through licensing or registration) weapons that may be held legally under national law. Such programmes had been carried out in Burkina Faso in the past but at the time of the assessment, there was no civilian voluntary disarmament (weapons collection) programme). This should be addressed because the Permanent Secretariat of the CNLPAL estimated that there were approximately 250,000 firearms in illegal circulation in Burkina Faso at the time of the national baseline assessment in 2018.
