In the month of August 2011, EASSI completed her second month-long training on the gender dimension of Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) that targeted the countries of Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, Ethiopia and Southern Sudan. Six of the 8 beneficiaries of this year’s training were drawn from the five EAC Focal Points on Small Arms which are government institutions mandated to implement programmes aimed at combating illicit proliferation of SALW. The participants were nominated by the respective NFP secretariats in consultation with the EAC office on Peace and Security. The other two participants from Ethiopia and Southern Sudan were recommended for the training on grounds that the two countries also have ongoing SALW issues.
