From Research to Road Map: Learning

from the Arms for Development

Initiative in Sierra Leone

Derek Miller, Daniel Ladouceur and Zoe Dugal

This joint UNIDIR–UNDP report presents the results of a 1,200-person survey on small

arms and security in Sierra Leone.

It offers an overview of the post-conflict DDR process,

the origins of UNDP’s Arms for Development project, and the findings of the survey at the

national and district levels.

A detailed retrospective is also provided on the design and conduct of the survey itself

in order to see how such activities might be improved. An appeal is made for the development

of a more rigorous and systematic approach to learning about local security problems as

they are understood by the stakeholders themselves. Some first thoughts on how this might

be accomplished are provided. The analysis concludes with a road map for future voluntary

collection efforts to stimulate discussion and provide guidance.

From Research to Road Map

will be of great interest to those concerned with the security

of Sierra Leone and its bordering countries, with the link between small arms and

development, and with efforts to make small arms and security programming appropriate to

culturally distinct communities.
