April 2018  aThis policy brief by ENACT reviews that although many African countries have adopted regional and global policies on arms control, the continued illicit proliferation of small arms and light weapons is an indication of wider transnational organised crime on the continent that calls for more attention. It argues that criminal networks exploit gaps in the regulatory systems, porous borders and weak law-enforcement procedures. The policy brief also discusses continental initiatives by the African Union to put an end to trade in arms and weapons.   aOrganised Crime, Illicit Arms  uiffoadatabase.trustafrica.org/iff/Africa_ Arms_PolicyBrief_april.pdf
