Annex I
- Increase in public co-operation in information giving leading to recovery and
surrender of illicit firearms: Before the start of the programme, Tanzania was
recovering about 400 illicit firearms on average per year but the figure has now
risen to over four times more.
- Increase in co-operation amongst the members of the law enforcement agencies:
Since the establishment of the NAP there has been more co-operation among
members of the law enforcement agencies and several successful joint operations
have been conducted. One of the examples is the operation in Kagera Region on
our borders with Uganda and Rwanda where law enforcement agencies managed
to seize a good number of illicit firearms and arrest their illicit owners, most of
whom happen to come from the neighbouring countries of Burundi, Rwanda,
Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.
- General increase in public support and co-operation: It is not easy to measure
what has been achieved through public support and co-operation but the impact
can be measured by the type of media coverage which is taking place. The
members of the public have now increased their participation in preventing or
exposing criminal gangs by 'Sungu Sungu'.
- Promotion of regional cooperation between states: Tanzania has been invited and
participated in several regional workshops where our position as a case study was
expressed during the presentation, and our practical experience on having the first
ever National Focal Point on small arms has been widely drawn upon by several
member states in both SADC and the Great Lakes Region and the Horn of Africa.
Our most valuable advice to other NFPs is to establish standard working operating
procedures in line with international, regional and sub-regional agreements and
protocols.
- Improvement of Partnership with the European Union Members States: The
relationship between Tanzania and European Union Members States has greatly
improved.
