This project aims to support field-testing of a prototype “Non-Proliferation Cheminformatics Compliance Tool” (NCCT), a database of controlled chemicals with an associated user-friendly interface delivered in Phase I of this project. The tool aims to bolster the control of chemical warfare agents and their precursors. It also seeks to increase the operational capacity of front-line officers to implement international obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention and UN Security Council Resolution 1540. Project activities include: (1) conducting live demonstrations of the NCCT; (2) publishing a “digital policy brief” on the relationship between chemicals of proliferation concern and the management of chemicals under the UN Sustainable Development Goals; and (3) publishing a manual of instructions and video tutorial on field-testing the NCCT desktop prototype.
