An innovative feature of both the Bamako Declaration and the UNPoA has been the recommendation that states establish national focal points (NFPs), which are coordination bodies responsible for devising a national arms control action plan, as well as facilitating small arms control research, monitoring, and the formulation of policy and legislation.Many African states have created NFPs. Some of these entities have been active in promoting and enabling small arms controls, such as in Botswana, Kenya, Namibia and Rwanda, while others are mere virtual entities, as is the case with many countries in central Africa and the Horn. Yet, many African governments have struggled to have a meaningful impact on illegal transfers as they lack the capacity to police their borders and points of entry effectively, as well as secure state weapons stockpiles. Additionally, there is no body at the continental level that regulates the arms trade in Africa.
