A 26-member technical working group on youth peace and security has commenced efforts in Koforidua, the capital of the Eastern Region, to formulate a comprehensive action plan addressing youth involvement in peace and security.
The initiative marks a significant step towards empowering young people to play active roles in conflict prevention and peacebuilding across the nation.
Addressing the participants in his welcome address , the Deputy Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Youth Authority (NYA), Nelson Owusu Ansah said although Ghana had long been recognised as a beacon of democracy and stability, it had however like many countries been facing challenges that threatened the country’s peace and security particularly in certain regions.
The initiative is also aimed at ensuring the youth contribute significantly to issues of national concern.
