New Small Arms Survey Annual Report 2024
2024 marked a new chapter for the Small Arms Survey with a fresh strategy and new leadership.
Complementing these changes, we’ve reimagined our Annual Report to better reflect the impact of our work across seven key thematic areas.
This new format highlights how our research extends far beyond individual projects to fuel policy guidance, capacity support, training, and workshops on national, regional, and international levels. The result is a clearer picture of how our work contributes to global efforts to reduce armed violence and improve security.
Explore our new, redesigned 2024 Annual Report to see how we're making a difference.
As the Survey moves beyond its 25th year, this Annual Report shows how we are not just tracking data—we’re actively building towards a future without illicit arms and armed violence.
