📷STRENGTHENING PEACE AND RESPONSIBLE COMMUNICATION IN BAWKU:
The National Peace Council has concluded a two-day capacity-building and dialogue programme bringing together security personnel and media practitioners including journalists, bloggers and vloggers working within the Bawku/Kusaug area.

The engagement focused on conflict-sensitive reporting, responsible communication, peacebuilding and conflict prevention. In a conflict-affected environment, how information is gathered, reported and shared matters.
The NPC remains committed to strengthening collaboration among stakeholders and supporting sustainable peace in Bawku.
🙏 Funded and supported by UNDP and JAPAH.

Ghana’s economic zones can drive investment, innovation and jobs.

At the Economic Zones Policy Roundtable, @UNDPGhana’s Deputy Resident Representative, Shaima Hussein highlighted the need to connect businesses, skills and local supply chains to African markets under the #AfCFTA.

At the Economic Zones Policy Roundtable, 3 priorities for businesses emerged:

• Align skills with market demand
• Build stronger industry partnerships
• Create pathways to jobs, especially for women and young people

The conversation is ultimately about connecting the pieces: policy, production, investment, businesses and markets.

The opportunity is to make Ghana’s economic zones engines of industrial growth, while positioning local businesses to compete and trade across Africa. 🇬🇭🌍

🇬🇭 Ghana wants to produce more of what it consumes, and the country’s economic zones have a critical role to play.

At today’s Economic Zones Policy Roundtable, leaders are discussing how to turn industrial ambition into production, investment and jobs.

For the EU Ambassador to Ghana, the challenge is also about capacity:

“Trade preferences are only as valuable as the capacity of businesses to use them.”

Public and private partners must work together to turn market access into real opportunity.

Lasting #peace requires patience, trust & community ownership.

We commend the Kusasi & Mamprusi communities for their continued commitment to dialogue. With support from @MofaJapan_en, @UNDPGhana remains committed to an inclusive & impartial peace process in Bawku. 🇬🇭🕊️

BAWKU PEACE PROCESS: BUILDING THE CONDITIONS FOR LASTING PEACE

@PeaceCouncilGH together with UNDP Ghana and the Government of Japan, reports that ongoing engagements with the Kusasi and Mamprusi communities continue to yield encouraging commitment to dialogue in Bawku. Discussions have been frank and constructive, giving stakeholders space to share their concerns and aspirations for peace.

The Council commends participants for their patience and commitment to peaceful means, noting that progress should not be measured solely by the speed of reaching an agreement.

Peace in Bawku cannot be built by one institution, one community or one intervention — it must be built, sustained and owned together. The dialogue must continue. The trust must grow.
