This paper examines the "Tools for Arms" project in Mozambique. The authors describe how the project represents the first time that civil society has taken the responsibility for public disarmament at a national level, thereby making an essential contribution towards peace and reconciliation. The paper also describes how the Christian Council of Mozambique has collected thousands of weapons and then converted individual components of the destroyed arms into works of art.
