A Comprehensive National Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW), Ammunition and Explosives Study on Ghana-Training of Enumerators: Southern & Northern Sectors

The Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC), in partnership with the Ghana National Commission on Small Arms (GNACSA) and the UNDP, organized a training for 96 enumerators across all 16 regions of Ghana to support the country’s efforts in combating the illicit proliferation of small arms and light weapons (SALW).

The training, conducted in both and Northern zones aimed to equip enumerators with the skills to gather data and conduct armory inspections as part of a comprehensive national study.

This study builds upon previous findings from 2013/14 and seeks to inform policy and programming around SALW control. By the end of the training, enumerators gained essential knowledge and skills for data collection to support an evidence-based approach to SALW management and policy improvement.
