National Workshop on Global Instruments on SALW control

The UN Regional Centre for Peace and Disarmament in Asia and the Pacific (UNRCPD), in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nepal and the Armed Police Forces of Nepal, and civil society organizations, proposes to host a national workshop. The workshop will be
organized as part of the EU-funded regional project aimed at supporting the implementation of the PoA, and will engage senior officials from key ministries such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA), Ministry of Home Affairs (MoHA), and Ministry of Defense (MoD), alongside parliamentarians and civil society representatives. The national workshop will focus on Global Instruments on SALW control, with a primary focus on the PoA and its ITI.

The workshop’s content will be structured to align with relevant actions outlined in the UN Secretary-General’s Agenda for Disarmament, ‘Securing our Future,’ as well as the goals and targets established within the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the New Agenda for
Peace, and complementary frameworks such as the Women, Peace, and Security agenda and the Youth, Peace, and Security agenda. It will encompass expert presentations on global instruments for arms control and an analysis of national policy and regulatory frameworks. Drawing from international guidance such as the Modular Small Arms Control Implementation Compendium (MOSAIC) , the workshop will feature interactive exercises and focused discussions on key thematic areas.
