The Liberia National Commission on Arms (LINCA) launched its Five-Year Strategic Plan (2026-2030) on February 12, 2026, at the Corina Hotel in Monrovia. The plan addresses the proliferation of illicit small arms and light weapons in Liberia, aligning with the Government's ARREST Agenda.

Key priorities include human resource development, decentralization of arms control, enhanced enforcement, innovative resource mobilization, and stronger collaboration with security institutions. The initiative aims to strengthen national security, promote responsible gun ownership, improve border control, and raise public awareness, particularly in rural areas. Stakeholders are urged to support LINCA's mission for a safer Liberia.
