A dissemination meeting on the roadmap for the development of Ghana's national Youth, Peace, and Security Action Plan was Friday held in Accra.
The National Action Plan (NAP) is being developed as part of Ghana's broader commitment to United Nations Security Council Resolution 2250, which emphasises the need for meaningful youth engagement in peace and security initiatives.
The event was organised by the National Youth Authority (NYA), in collaboration with the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC) The NAP is envisioned to empower youth as key drivers in peace building, conflict resolution, and the creation of a resilient future for Ghana.
The Deputy Cheif Executive Officer, NYA, Mr Nelson Owusu Ansah, said that Ghana has experienced some level of stability and security, which could easily be taken for granted. "However, it is important to recognise the value of peace and remember that maintaining security requires a collective effort," he said He called on stakeholders to join in a collective effort to develop a National Action Plan that to empower Ghanaian youth to actively participate in peace building and conflict resolution. "With the youth at the helm of this transformative journey, Ghana stands poised to build a more peaceful and resilient future," he said.
