Relevant contents
The coordination of national policy, strategy, and action plans, including with relevant programmes and operations, is essential for achieving effective WAM in Burkina Faso.
The Burkinabe national coordination mechanism is composed of two key national authorities: the High Authority on Arms Imports Control and Their Use (HACIAU); and the CNLPAL (National Commission for the Fight Against the Illicit Proliferation of Small Arms). HACIAU is the competent national authority for the ATT, covering the import and use of conventional arms and their ammunition/munitions including small arms and light weapons (SALW); the CNLPAL is the national authority with a mandate, mission and scope covering the control of SALW and ammunition.
ATT = Arms Trade Treaty
SALW = Small Arms and Light Weapons
