This project aims to support Caribbean States in the implementation of the Caribbean Firearms Roadmap to address illicit proliferation issue of firearms and ammunition for a safer Caribbean region. Project activities include: (1) supporting the drafting of four National Action Plans in collaboration with the national focal points in each State; (2) carrying out two national courses focusing on maritime security; (3) carrying out three webinars for judicial and investigative police, public and police prosecutors, and police officers; and (4) offering one regional refresher Armoury Management Course. The project benefits the law enforcement community, the men and women of the following countries: Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) reinforced regulatory frameworks governing firearms and ammunition; (2) reduced illicit flow of firearms and ammunition into, within and beyond the region; (3) bolstered law enforcement capacity to combat illicit firearms and ammunition trafficking and their illicit possession and misuse; and (4) decreased systematically the risk of diversion of firearms and ammunition from government- and non-government-owned arsenals.
