#Journalists play a vital role in shaping public opinion and influencing policy. Equipping them with accurate knowledge on #smallarms and #lightweapons laws ensures responsible and impactful reporting.

Together with @WaansaG, we're organizing an exclusive Evening Media Encounter for sourthern sector #media practitioners to enhance their knowledge on national and international arms control laws.

This is a crucial step in ensuring accurate reporting and effective lobbying for legal reforms.

Let's work together to amplify the call for urgent legal reforms on small arms and light weapons in Ghana.

[UNDP Ghana @UNDPGhana]

Journalists are key allies in the fight against illicit small arms and light weapons.

Catch the highlights from our exclusive Evening Media Encounter for southern sector #media practitioners, aimed at enhancing their knowledge of national and international arms control laws.

Through this training, the media gained practical tools for accurate reporting, strategic advocacy, and influencing policy to drive urgent legal reforms for stronger arms governance in Ghana. 📢

🔗 Watch, share, and join the conversation! Let’s push for the passage of the Arms Commission Bill to safeguard our communities.
