BICC was commissioned during 2006 by the German Foreign Office and the Netherlands Foreign Ministry to assess a Weapons and Ammunition Destruction (WAD) project, which they have funded in Afghanistan. The assessment drew on BICC's expertise in the fields of DD&R and of small arms (SALW) control. WAD operations were observed in Kabul and in the four northeastern provinces of Afghanistan (Baghlan, Kunduz, Takhar, and Badakshan). BICC organized a workshop for all the partners in the WAD activity and offered a professional, timely, and valuable service that may help improve post-conflict peacekeeping activities in Afghanistan.
