On 7 September 2021, UNREC participated in an informal meeting convened by UNODA 1540 Support Unit together with other Regional Centers and relevant stakeholders to reinforce a network of 1540 coordinators and focal points and seek ways to strengthen cooperation. Participants brainstormed on cooperation opportunities at the working level. Two regional organizations, the Organization of American States (OAS) and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) have participated in the meeting as special guests. UNREC shared information on the scope and type of past activities on 1540 undertaken by the Regional Centre, including national workshops organized in Mauritania and Niger. UNREC also made suggestions on ways to enhance cooperation.
