1 PoA and ITI Implementation Trends, Challenges and Opportunities

2 Overview National reporting National coordination agency and national point of contact Manufacture International transfers Brokering Stockpile management and destruction Marking and record-keeping International tracing International assistance Gender

3 National Reporting : 171 States States Reporting fatigue? Data! Overlap Capacity / coordination Benefit Assess state of play / measure progress / SDGs Connect needs with assistance

4 Reporting Template Online 6 languages Internet connection / access Password issuance Shorter, simpler Biennial Update only Comprehensive global assessment SDG Target PoA/ITI National Report Submissions 113: as of 19 June Submitted in template via hard copy (8) No online / No template (6) Submitted online (99)

5 National Coordination Agency 93 States (established) Well established ISACS module National coordinating mechanism Inclusivity Resources & capacity Coherent national policy: ISACS module: National action plan Harmonize national data collection Gender Number of States with NCA Total Reports

6 National Point of Contact 172 States (designated) 6 Designation of NPCs by Regional Group 5 Well established Individual or unit keeping the list up to date 4 3 Continuity Coherence Contact with UN, regional org s, other NPCs 2 1 African Group Asia-Pacific Group Eastern European Group GRULAC No NPC Entry before 211 Updated after 212 Western European and Others Group (WEOG)

7 Manufacture 67 States Manufacture of SALW Increasing assistance requests Growing concern over craft manufacture 32 assistance requests in 218 Increase awareness and sharing of good practices / standards Projects and workshops to address craft manufacture Total Member States 193 Total Reporting States Total Manufacturing Countries 67

8 International Transfers Nearly all reporting states have laws / regulations on intl. transfers 111 require licences for transfer 47 assistance requests in 218 1/3 of reporting states have requested assistance to strengthen legal framework Match needs requests with resources Synergies, incl. with UNROCA, Firearms Protocol, COMTRADE Effective control over international transfers Africa Americas Asia Europe Oceania Laws are in place License required to transfer? *Small Arms Survey

9 Brokering 91 States (procedures in place) Growth New procedures since 212: 12 States Procedures Implemented Since 212 (12) Brokering Procedures No Brokering Procedures Reported (37) Still many States lack legislative framework Connecting needs with resources Brokering Procedures in Place (85)

10 Stockpile Management and Destruction : 41 States destroyed SALW 36 States reported destroying over 75, SALW Most States have procedures for state-owned SALW Destruction of SALW: 38 States Consistently high demand for assistance High costs and technical requirements Identify source/means of diversion through national reports, to implement effective countermeasures Bilateral assistance 5 States: No info on quantity 36 States reported No. of SALW destroyed Total 756,497 SALW destroyed

11 Collection of SALW 63 States [collected] ( ) Template allows for disaggregated data: How seized/surrendered/found Subsequent actions marked/recorded/traced/destroyed 63 states collected SALW: 36 states provided data Difficulty in collecting and harmonizing national data Reducing diversion Indicator International assistance for nat l data collection Provided disaggregated data (23) Reporting on Collection of SALW: 63 States Collected SALW: and provided totals (13) Collected SALW: No additional information (27)

12 SALW Collection States (collected SALW): 36 States [provided data] Relevant data for SDG Indicator Year seized / surrendered / found Global total Action taken First reporting year (216) SALW seized SALW surrendered SALW found Second reporting year(217) First reporting year (216) Second reporting year(217) First reporting year (216) Second reporting year(217) a) Marked 2 6 b) Recorded c) Destroyed d) Trace request issued e) Other actions f) No action taken (only stored)

13 Marking and Record-Keeping 11 States (marking of state-owned SALW) 11 states: State-owned weapons are marked Growing number of States capable of marking Major achievement of international assistance No universal standard practice in marking Craft manufacture of small arms no mark / no record Adequate capacity and equipment Enforce marking at the time of import Ensure marking all state-owned weapons Prevent diversion and enable identification of stateowned weapons Manufacture of SALW Total Member States Total Reporting 193 States Marking of stateowned weapons

14 International Tracing 98 States (tracing procedures in place) Procedures for international tracing ( ) ( ) 98 states: tracing procedures in place 9 states: responsible agency identified 95 states: cooperating with INTERPOL Start with national trace Marking/record-keeping prerequisites Capacity/priority to respond to tracing requests Requires transparency, information sharing and cooperation Establish framework for regional cooperation Total Reporting States States with Tracing Procedures States with responsible national agency States Cooperating With INTERPOL

15 International Assistance National Reports: Assistance Requested, Assistance Received and Willingness to Assist Continuing increase in assistance requests Willingness / availability to assist Coordination / duplication Sustainability of funding SDGs: SALW support is development Targeted and holistic approaches Time for improved mechanism for funding Requested Received Willing to Assist

16 Gender Considerations 48 States (in practice) First introduced in 218 reporting templates 48 States: taking gender considerations into account 34 States: provided additional information i.e. national gender action plans or gender quotas 17 States: collecting gender-disaggregated data Identify policies as gender-relevant Engage more States Target National Commissions Contribution to SDGs 5 and Reporting on Gender Considerations Gender considerat ions in place Examples of practices Collecting disaggrega ted data

17 Recommendations 1. National reporting avenue towards understanding challenges, gaps and monitoring progress 2. Invest in stockpile management, marking / record-keeping: reduction of diversion 3. Assistance should include holistic, multi-year, cross-sectional programming in affected countries 4. Build synergies with relevant global and regional processes to help reduce duplication of efforts 5. Enhance targeted interventions related to gender and age 6. Establish mechanism to make full use of the rich data
