Relevant contents
Burkina Faso, in cooperation and with the support from the Mines Advisory Group (MAG), has since 2015 been conducting risk assessments on more than 60 storage sites and ammunition depots; and also 'enhanced physical security' reviews of 30 weapons storage sites and depots leading to rehabilitation/refurbishment, construction or container solutions.
With support from the UN Regional Centre for Peace and Disarmament (UNREC), a set of standard operating procedures (SOPs) have also been developed, and national defence, police and other security forces have been trained in their use. Since 2016, a PSSM strategic five-year plan has been developed by the CNLPAL with the involvement of all relevant national stakeholders and technical experts and with specialized assistance from the Small Arms Survey and MAG.
