Civil Society & International Partners Desk

The National Commission on Small Arms and Light Weapons (NACSA) recognizes that effectively addressing the challenges of small arms proliferation requires more than institutional action alone. It demands the collective effort of communities, civil society, and the global community of partners committed to peace and security.

To strengthen these vital connections, NACSA has established the Civil Society Organizations (CSO) and International Partners Desk — a dedicated unit responsible for coordinating and managing NACSA’s relationships with civil society groups and international partners across Ghana and beyond.

What We Do

The Desk serves as NACSA’s primary liaison for all CSO and international partner engagements. Our work includes mapping and registering civil society organizations working on small arms control and community safety, formalizing partnerships through Memoranda of Understanding and collaboration agreements, coordinating joint programs, outreach activities, advocacy initiatives, and managing relationships with UN agencies, bilateral donors, regional bodies, and international NGOs.

Who We Work With

We partner with a broad range of actors including community-based organizations, faith-based groups, research institutions, women and youth organizations, UN agencies such as UNDP and UNODC, bilateral development partners, and regional bodies including the ECOWAS Small Arms Unit.

Register Your Organization

If your organization is actively working in the areas of small arms control, arms management, community safety, peacebuilding, conflict prevention, violence reduction, or related thematic areas, we invite you to partner with the National Commission on Small Arms and Light Weapons (NACSA).

The Northern Regional Office of the Commission paid a courtesy call on the Sagnarigu Naa at the Sagnarigu Palace on 24 June 2026.

The visit, which also forms part of efforts to promote peace and public safety ahead of the 2026 Fire Festival celebrations, provided an opportunity to raise awareness on the dangers associated with the misuse of firearms during traditional festivities and to encourage peaceful and gun-incident-free celebrations across the Northern Region.

During the meeting, the Commission briefed the Sagnarigu Naa on its mandate and expressed concern over the proliferation of illicit arms and the risks posed by the misuse of firearms during festive occasions. The Commission also reiterated the prohibition on the use of automatic and semi-automatic weapons during traditional celebrations, stressing that cap guns remain the approved firearms for such occasions.

In his remarks, Naa Bapra Sagnari Naa Yakubu Abdulai (Dunkurigu Naa) commended the Commission for the initiative, noting that firearms are not toys and should only be used under lawful conditions.

He further emphasised that military-style weapons are not part of Dagbon customs and should not be displayed during festivals, irrespective of licensing status.

The Sagnarigu Naa also called for fairness in the enforcement of firearms regulations and identified mistrust, suspicion, and drug abuse as major contributors to gun-related incidents and insecurity within communities. He stressed that peace is a continuous process that demands the collective commitment of all stakeholders.

The engagement concluded with a renewed commitment by both the Commission and the Sagnarigu Naa to work together to promote peace, public safety, and a peaceful, gun-incident-free Fire Festival celebration in the Northern Region.
