KAIPTC, National Peace Council move to bridge civilian-security trust deficit to counter violent extremism

These include training cohorts capable of facilitating local community engagements, crafting localised regional security action plans, and entrenching a lasting preventive mechanism.

Participants included officers from state security agencies, local government officials, traditional rulers, religious leaders, civil society organisations, youth groups, persons with disabilities and representatives from the Fulbe community.

The Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC) and the National Peace Council (NPC), with support from the Embassy of Spain in Ghana, have launched a multi-stakeholder regional engagement aimed at rebuilding trust between civilians and state security agencies.
