Division 4.3.3 Project activities

The following activities will be undertaken in the framework of this project:

1. (a)

   iTrace teams sent on repeat visits to relevant authorities in Member State capitals to brief on counter-diversion issues and report on their investigations;

2. (b)

   the continuation of a 24-hour helpdesk to provide instant advice on counter‐diversion or potentially negative press allegations arising from unverified third party reporting;

3. (c)

   the maintenance for Member State export licensing authorities of online dashboards, which will stream encrypted data from the iTrace information management system, red-flagging parties with a history of diverting conventional arms, profiling high-risk destinations, and reporting, in real time, the diversion of domestically manufactured arms; and

4. (d)

   the support or provision, on official request by Member States' arms exports licensing authorities, of post-delivery end use checks (verification) to Member States by iTrace field investigation teams.

The project will be implemented over the full three-year iTrace project period.
