Developed by the Stimson Center in collaboration with the 1540 Committee and its Group of Experts and supported by Global Affairs Canada, the 1540 ASI database features a comprehensive collection of past and present nonproliferation support programs and projects. Robust search functions allow users to quickly locate relevant assistance programs based on specific criteria such as region, type of support needed, and CBRN risk. Intuitive filters and advanced keyword search capabilities help States identify assistance partners offering the specific expertise or activities they are interested in and help assistance providers to avoid duplicating effort or repeating work already completed by other organizations.

The ASI database simplifies the process of connecting nations with vital assistance programs, promoting cooperation and efficiency in safeguarding global security under UN Resolution 1540.
