Recently, the Institute has been focusing its regional security
and disarmament thinking on West Africa, South Asia and the
Middle East.
UNIDIR's expert group meetings and annual fellowship
programme bring together professionals who would not normally have
the opportunity to work collaboratively. The Institute's research
in West Africa involves civil society in security and peace-building
activities.
UNIDIR activities also highlight different regional initiatives
and experiences, such as helping to identify best practice and lessons
learned in weapons collection programmes. While recognizing that
one-size-fits-all solutions are not appropriate, learning about
other regions' initiatives can inspire and encourage more open thinking,
and thus lead to further successes.
