Small Arms Commission steps up school outreach, reaches over 3,650 students in anti-gun violence campaign

The National Commission on Small Arms and Light Weapons (NACSA) says it has intensified its nationwide schools' engagement campaign, reaching more than 3,650 students, parents and teachers as part of efforts to prevent gun violence and curb the proliferation of illicit firearms.

The Commission has in recent months intensified public education campaigns across the country as part of efforts to reduce the risks associated with the illicit possession and circulation of small arms and light weapons.

According to the Commission, the sensitisation programmes are aimed at strengthening community resilience against gun violence through preventive education and public awareness.
