Weapons and Ammunition Management Technical Training for Women
FY 2022-23 · 2022-07-22
Summary
This project aims to help address the significant gender imbalance in the field of weapons and ammunition management (WAM) by providing technical training to women. This training will allow them to take on technical positions in this male-dominated sector and deliver technical trainings on weapons and ammunition management to security institutions in host countries. It also aims to support the universalization and implementation of the Arms Trade Treaty, in particular, the obligation of States Parties to implement national control systems and prevent diversion of weapons and ammunition. Project activities include the delivery of a series of train-the-trainer technical trainings such as ammunition management, explosive ordnance disposal and weapons marking, registration and recordkeeping.

Description (French)
Ce projet a pour objectif de contribuer à réduire l’important déséquilibre entre les genres dans le domaine de la gestion des armes et des munitions en offrant aux femmes une formation technique qui leur permettra d’occuper des postes techniques dans un secteur majoritairement masculin et de dispenser des formations techniques sur la gestion des armes et des munitions à des établissements de sécurité dans les pays hôtes. Il vise également à appuyer l’universalisation et la mise en œuvre du Traité sur le commerce des armes, notamment l’obligation des États parties d’établir des systèmes nationaux de contrôle et de prévenir le détournement d’armes et de munitions. Les activités du projet comprennent la prestation d’une série de formations techniques à l’intention du formateur sur des sujets comme la gestion des munitions, la neutralisation des explosifs et des munitions, ainsi que le marquage, l’enregistrement et la tenue de dossiers en matière d’armes.
Expected Results
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) trained 10 women on International Ammunition Technical Guidelines compliant technical standards, appropriate to their roles and context; and (2) trained 15 women as WAM Project Managers, including technical, managerial and policy competencies.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats escomptés de ce projet comprennent : 1) 10 femmes ont reçu une formation adaptée à leur fonction et à leur contexte sur les normes techniques conformes aux Directives techniques internationales sur les munitions; 2) 15 femmes ont reçu une formation de gestionnaire de projet de gestion d’armes et de munitions, qui comprend des compétences en techniques, en gestion et en politiques.
