A two-day training programme in conflict management for 20 chiefs and 24 elders from the Andani and Abudu royal Gates has ended at Yendi in the Northern Region.<\/p>\n
It was organised by the United Nations Joint Programme on Human
Security in collaboration with the Dagbon Traditional Council.
Topics discussed included Human Security concept, conflict and
causes of conflict, types of conflict and understanding conflict,
escalation and de-escalation of conflict, conflict prevention – early
warning signs, and the spectrum of conflict handling mechanisms, among
others.<\/p>\n
The Programme Manager of UN Joint Human Security Programme, Mr
Edward Adimazoya, stated that since December 2009 the United Nations
(UN) system in Ghana and other partners had been implementing the
joint Human Security Programme in selected communities in the three
Northern Regions.<\/p>\n
Mr Adimazoya indicated that the programme which had the title
\u201cEnhancing Human Security Through Developing Local Capacity for
Holistic Community-based Conflict Prevention in Northern Ghana,\u201d was a
joint initiative of the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO),
UNICEF, UNDP, UNIDO UNU and the World Food Programme (WFP) in close
collaboration with the Government of Ghana, civil society
organizations, academia and other partners.<\/p>\n
He said the three-year programme was funded by the Government of
Japan through the UN Trust Fund for Human Security (UN-TFHS).
\u201cThe programme targets Bawku, Yendi, Tamale and Wa which have
been identified as the four conflict-prone areas in the three Northern
Regions,\u201d he said, adding that it sought to empower local
institutions, communities and individuals to prevent and manage
conflicts in Northern Ghana as a means to ensuring sustainable human
security in the area.<\/p>\n
Mr Adimazoya indicated that the programme adopted a
multidimensional approach with international components in local
capacity development, conflict prevention, income generation, food
security and human security concept.<\/p>\n
He said in the Yendi Municipality the priority communities
included Nayilifong, Guntingle, Balogu, and Kumfong.
The UN Joint Human Security Programme Field Specialist for Yendi,
Mr Salifu Dammah indicated that the conflict management workshop for
the chiefs of the two Gates was meant to equip them and their elders
with knowledge and skills for holistic community based conflict
prevention and enable them to anticipate and respond constructively
and sensitively to issues of conflict in their areas.<\/p>\n
Mr Salifu stated that relationship building was no marginal
activity but that it was the key in creating sustainable
peace-building process. He said the theme for the training, \u201cThe more
we sweat in peace, the less we bleed in war,\u201d was very appropriate.
The Yendi Divisional Police Commander, Chief superintendent
Charles Damanban, expressed appreciation to the chiefs from the two
royal Gates for attending the training programme in the search for
peace in Dagbon.<\/p>\n
He thanked the UN Joint Programme on Human Security and the
Dagbon Traditional Council for organizing the programme.
In their recommendations, the chiefs appealed to the UN Joint
Programme on Human Security to empower the chiefs of the two Gates to
enable them to contribute effectively to the peace process.<\/p>\n
They stressed the need for the two royal Gates in the Dagbon
Crisis to tone down the blame game and to seek peace.
They acknowledged that in the interest of building peace and
trust, chiefs of the two Gates should exchange visits regularly to
improve upon communications between the two sides.<\/p>\n
The chiefs also called on the UN Joint Programme to create jobs
for the youth in the conflict-prone areas to enable them to channel
their energies into productive ventures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
