What you can do as an NGO

1.- Support the initiative!

Every NGO can help further the ATT initiative and its promotion worldwide by increasing activities, training, and opportunities in every region. Your organizational efforts increase visibility of the issues and further the understanding of the need for responsible arms transfers. Spread the word and become involved in the way your organization can be do so.

2.- Coordination and Communication

To develop a powerful NGO coalition in cooperation with regional and international partners, circulate information on initiative advances, and to enhance the SC as representative, effective and accountable to the wider international and regional community of NGOs.

3.- Advocacy

To build consensus around the central principles of, and mobilise active support for, the ATT among governments and to build multilateral 'building blocks' in regional and sub-regional fora that reflect these principles.

4.- Research

To develop an irrefutable case regarding the need for arms transfer controls and to refine the policy models designed to respond to this need.

5.- Training and Capacity Building

To facilitate the sharing and expertise both among existing partners and with newly identified partners in the region, and to translate this capacity into vastly increased public awareness of the consequences of irresponsible arms transfers.
