The Project Manager, in cooperation with the Cambodian Armed Forces, will continue the work related to record-keeping and the management and security of weapons stocks and to developing policies, guidelines and practices in this area. To that end, the Project Manager will monitor the projects previously implemented in Military Region 1 (Stung Treng), Military Region 2 (Kampong Cham), Military Region 3 (Kampong Speu), Military Region 4 (Siem Reap), Military Region 5 (Battambang), the Special Military Region (Phnom Penh) and the Royal Gendarmerie. In close cooperation with the Ministry of National Defence, he will define and implement a further project on safe storage and registration of weapons of the Air Force and Navy. This will include the building of medium- and short-term storage facilities, training of the relevant personnel at all levels and the registration of all weapons in the centralised computer database of the Ministry of Defence. The implemented project is to include assistance, with the support of relevant experts, to the Government’s programme of public ceremonies for the destruction of surplus military weapons and, where appropriate, of collected weapons and of surplus weapons that may still be held by the army and police and security forces.
