  "account": "The National Youth Authority (NYA) in Ghana recently held discussions with young people in the Ahafo Region to gather their perspectives for the creation of the country's National Action Plan (NAP) on Youth, Peace and Security. The engagement, which took place in Goaso, aimed to provide a platform for young people to discuss challenges affecting their security and involvement in national development, as well as propose solutions to tackle these issues. Archibald Donkor, the Director of Programmes at the NYA, emphasized that the wellbeing of Ghanaian youth cannot be achieved without addressing matters of peace and security. He highlighted that the UN and African Union have encouraged member states, including Ghana, to formulate national action plans to tackle the concerns faced by young people in this area. Donkor stated that the NAP would be crafted based on the input from youth and other relevant stakeholders, making their involvement in the process crucial.
