Participants at the training
HIF facilitated 4 weeks of training at CPADD. Fifteen trainees from French speaking countries were sponsored to participate in the training (Togo, Niger, Senegal, Mali and Ivory Coast). For that purpose three training modules were developed for their small arms and light weapons programme: marking, destruction and armorer. The syllabuses of the courses are available on CPADD website: http://www.cpadd.org/planification/.
For the training sessions, the armoury in the CPADD was rehabilitated and the mobile incinerator built and used as practice equipment.
