WHO WE ARE

The Small Arms Survey strengthens the capacity of governments and practitioners to reduce illicit arms flows and armed violence through three mutually reinforcing activities: the generation of policy-relevant knowledge, the development of authoritative resources and tools, and the provision of training and other services.

The Survey has an international staff with expertise in security studies, political science, law, economics, development studies, sociology, and criminology.

The Small Arms Survey is an associated programme of the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (IHEID). The Survey also consults with its Strategic Council, which is a complementary external advisory body.

The Small Arms Survey receives financial support from a number of governments and organizations. See the full list of donors here.

The Small Arms Survey works with a wide array of partners worldwide through collaborative projects.
