Goal: Enable States to report on international arms transfers and effective measures, and areas where cooperation and assistance is requested, to regulate international arms transfers in accordance with the PoA and ATT to achieve SDG 16.

Activities and Outputs:

• Based on the information collected through a questionnaire for ATT State Parties developed and distributed by the Center, the publication “Reporting in Review: Examining ATT Reporting Experiences” was produced.

• Data was collected on ATT annual reports on arms exports and imports undertaken in 2016 and circulated in a report titled “Reviewing 2017 ATT Annual Reports on Arms Exports and Imports”.
