Refocusing small arms interventions on impact: Connecting global policy to community driven approaches to security

Saferworld undertook this two-year programme with local partners in Kenya. The intention is to help communities achieve their rights to security, currently under threat from the proliferation and misuse of small arms and light weapons (SALW), by ensuring that the communities themselves are at the heart of the prioritisation, planning, implementation and monitoring and evaluation of the programme. As well as being of immediate benefit to the ‘target’ communities, by developing credible evidence from these practical efforts the programme also intends to inform national and international processes, particularly within the context of the UN Programme of Action (UNPoA) on SALW.
