The Small Arms Survey, established in 1999 at the Graduate Institute of International Studies in Geneva, Switzerland, is the primary source of reliable information on all aspects of the small arms and light weapons issue. Its flagship publication, the Small Arms Survey yearbook (published by Oxford University Press, 2001-2006, and Cambridge University Press, 2007-2008), is an annual review of global small arms issues, including small arms production, transfers, stockpiles, socio-economic impacts, and measures and interventions. In addition, the SAS works with a large network of local, regional and international partners on more than 50 research projects around the globe, the vast majority of which are undertaken in the field. The SAS has expertise in rapid baseline assessments with multilateral and bilateral development partners in more than 25 post-conflict countries. The Small Arms Survey previously published a report on small arms in Yemen in 2003.

The Conflict Prevention Pool (CPP) is a UK Government fund administered jointly by the Department for International Development (DFID), the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) and Ministry of Defence (MOD). The CPP was set up in April 2008 to enhance the effectiveness of the UK's contribution to conflict prevention. It is a financial instrument to deliver long-term conflict prevention activity, through regional programmes focused where the UK can have its biggest impact, and through thematic programmes which deal with cross-cutting conflict prevention issues. All activity under the CPP is targeted at achieving the UK's overall intended outcome: 'A global and regional reduction in conflict and its impact, through improved UK and international efforts to prevent, manage and resolve conflict, and to create the conditions required for effective state-building and economic development'.
