U.S. invests in public servants in Ghana’s public safety sector

Embassy and Emerging Public Leaders have begun training public servants working in Ghana’s public safety sector.

The Professionals Engaged Against Conflict & Endangerment (PEACE) programme, implemented by Ghana-based Emerging Public Leaders, will provide professional development and leadership training for 25 public servants over one year.

“One of the best ways to prevent conflict and support peace is to improve the delivery and reach of public services.

That’s one reason we’re investing in our partnership with Ghana’s public servants,” said U.S.

The programme began in March 2024 with online professional development and training for over 100 public safety professionals from various ministries and government agencies.

Of those, 25 high-performing public servants have been selected for the year-long PEACE fellowship

Over the next year, they will learn best practices for security-civilian relations, to strengthen public safety and security, build trust and confidence with local communities, and help prevent conflict in the Upper East, North East, and Northern regions of Ghana.
