Division 3.3.2 Project description

Up to ten two-day workshops for individual beneficiary countries will be provided to respond to targeted requests for assistance and expressions of interest to further one or more specific areas of an arms transfer control system.

Those workshops will provide a limited individual and tailored assistance and will address the specific issue(s) raised by the requesting country, such as; transfer control legislation review; best practices on reporting; information sources relevant to the application of the ATT risk assessment criteria; end-use controls and documentation. They will take place in the beneficiary countries and expertise will be imparted by experts from the pool of experts referred to in section 3.1.

The implementing agency will be in charge of receiving the assistance requests and reporting them to the HR who, in consultation with COARM, will decide on how to respond to them. The HR assessment will in particular be guided by the criteria set out in section 5.1., the accuracy of the request and how it identifies the issue(s) at stake, and considering the geographical balance.
