Ghana is in the process of creating its inaugural National Action Plan on Youth, Peace and Security, according to Osman Ayariga, CEO of the National Youth Authority (NYA). Addressing the ECOWAS Ministerial Consultation on Youth, Peace and Security in Accra on Tuesday, October 27, Ayariga emphasized that the plan aims to enhance young people's involvement in conflict prevention, peacebuilding, and national security.
He stated that the initiative demonstrates Ghana's dedication to involving young individuals in shaping peace and security policies. Ayariga asserted that young people should be acknowledged not merely as recipients of peace and security initiatives but also as collaborators in devising and executing strategies to tackle the issues faced by their communities and the broader sub-region.
He further explained that the proposed action plan would lay the groundwork for bolstering youth participation in peacebuilding and conflict prevention, while simultaneously bolstering stability and security across West Africa.
