Coordination with other relevant assistance activities
The ATT Secretariat is familiar with other funds engaged in funding ATT implementation-related projects, such as the UN Trust Facility Supporting Cooperation on Arms Regulation (UNSCAR) and, of course, the EU ATT Outreach Project. The ATT Secretariat has worked closely with the managers/implementers of both funds, including BAFA and Expertise France, in an effort to avoid duplication of funding. This has involved sharing information on a regular – and confidential – basis on applications received and projects approved by the different funds.
With continued EU support, the ATT Secretariat will continue to build and capitalize on the relationship developed with BAFA and Expertise France to ensure complementarity between the ATT Secretariat’s EU-funded project and the ongoing work of the EU ATT Outreach Project. For example, the ATT Secretariat has engaged members of the EU’s pool of experts to contribute to the validation of the training materials developed for the ‘train the trainers’ element of Project 2 (Expert roster (training the trainers)) of the 2021 – 2023 EU funded project. Some members of the EU’s pool of experts participated in training workshops organized by the ATT Secretariat. The ATT Secretariat plans to build on this existing collaboration with EU experts.
