The Acts of this forum were published under the headline:« Civil Society and Security Democratic Governance 8 ». The said Acts continue to inspire the action plans of CONASCIPAL which benefits from the Programme's(PGPSP) constant support to execute its activities, with particular regard to actions against the proliferation of small arms and light weapons in the District of Bamako. The third key support came from the communities of Northern Mali, particularly from the« Network of Advocacy for Peace, Security and Development in the Northern Regions of Mali».
