Addressing the growing security risks associated with illicit arms proliferation requires stronger collaboration between security, intelligence and arms control agencies. It is within this context that the National Commission on Small Arms and Light Weapons participated in the Basic Intelligence Course for Non-Commissioned Officers organised by the Ghana Armed Forces at Burma Camp, Accra.

As part of the course, Rev. Carl Nii Anyetei Sowah, Acting Head of Communications, delivered a presentation on the implications of the proliferation of small arms and light weapons on national security. The session highlighted the evolving nature of illicit firearms trafficking, its connection to armed violence and regional insecurity, and the importance of intelligence-led approaches in identifying and disrupting threats linked to illicit firearms circulation.

The Commission expresses appreciation to the Ghana Armed Forces for the invitation and opportunity to contribute to the training, and looks forward to continued collaboration in strengthening national security and combating illicit firearms proliferation.
