Ukraine's local authorities provide essential services to civilians and veterans while also contending with small arms-related challenges such as armed violence and proliferation. Partnering with Norwegian People's Aid and the Center for Security Studies 'CENSS', this project aims to help these institutions' efforts to mitigate these issues through providing needs assessments and capacity support.
By generating data and knowledge and developing tailored training to support local government actors, the work undertaken in this project aims to strengthen small arms and light weapons control and risk-reduction capacities of relevant stakeholders in Ukraine.
In 2025, the project will implement four main activities: 1) local institutions risk and engagement assessments; 2) the preparation of oblast-level analytical outputs on arms seizures, trafficking and violent incidents; 3) the development of a tailored training programme on firearms safety and risk education for Administrative Service Centers (ASC) staff; and (4) a nationwide population survey on public perceptions of risk education and arms proliferation.
