The National Training Workshop on the Revised UN Illicit Arms Flows Questionnaire (UN-IAFQ), held from 23–24 September 2026 in Accra, concluded with a practical session focused on applying the revised reporting framework.

The training brought together senior representatives from the Forestry Commission, Customs Division of GRA, Ghana Immigration Service, NAIMOS, Attorney-General’s Department, Ghana Civil Aviation Authority, Ghana Police Service, GPHA, NACOC, Judicial Service, EOCO, BNI, and National Security.

A practical session on the UN-IAFQ tool was facilitated by Dr. Andrea Oterova of the Data Analytics and Statistics Section, UNODC Vienna, who led participants through the revised version of the questionnaire and reporting requirements of national data.

The workshop concluded with a closing ceremony and certification, marking two days of technical learning, practical application, and inter-agency engagement towards strengthening Ghana’s firearms data and reporting systems.

NACSA commends UNODC for its technical leadership and expresses appreciation to the European Union for its partnership and support through the “EU for a Secure Ghana” Project, as well as all participating institutions for their commitment to strengthening Ghana’s response to illicit firearms flows.
