At the Northern Peace Conference in Tamale (26–27 Oct), I emphasised the urgent need for Ghana to finalise, adopt and fund its first National Action Plan on Youth, Peace & Security.
Beyond the plan, we must resource youth-led peacebuilding initiatives.

Non-violence is not a weapon of the weak.
It is the strength of the courageous.
It is the power to resist injustice without hatred, confront oppression without cruelty & build peace through dignity, not domination.
