Akufo-Addo and the Chair of the Board of Trustees of the African Centre for Constructive Resolution to Disputes (ACCORD) &amp; Global Peace, Mrs. Gra\u00e7a Machel, will jointly host the inaugural Global Peace Inter-Generational Dialogue in Accra.<\/p>\n<p>The Dialogue, which is scheduled for May 6, at the Kempinski Hotel in Accra, will set the tone for a global discussion amongst Young Future Leaders, City Mayors, Captains of Business and Civil Society Leaders to deliberate on their aspirations for what a better world should look like.<\/p>\n<p>About 500 delegates drawn from different sectors of the country are expected to attend the event including members of the Diplomatic Corp.<\/p>\n<p>The Accra Inter-Generational Dialogue is a follow-up to the announcement made by Nana Akufo-Addo, as the Co-Chair of the UN SDG Advocates Group, on December 2, 2018, at the Global Citizen\u2019s Festival in Johannesburg, South Africa, that in 2019, Ghana would host the inaugural Inter-Generational Dialogue in Accra City, to help forge the connection between peace and development in the country and worldwide. <\/p>\n<p><b><\/b>Background<\/p>\n<p>Global Peace was launched on July 27, 2018, by the Chair of ACCORD\u2019s Board of Trustees, Mrs. Gra\u00e7a Machel at a luncheon hosted by South African President Cyril Ramaphosa for 20 Heads of State attending the 2018 BRICS Plus Summit.<\/p>\n<p>Mrs. Gra\u00e7a Machel subsequently introduced Global Peace, on September 24, 2018, to the world community at the United Nations (UN) Headquarters during the Nelson Mandela Peace Summit.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative was then launched by Dr. Vasu Gounden, Founder and Executive Director of ACCORD, in October 2018 at the African Union, in Addis Ababa.<\/p>\n<p>Global Peace is an initiative led from the Global South and Africa and is at the forefront of building a new discourse and narrative on global issues.  <\/p>\n<p><b><\/b>Inter-Generational Dialogues<\/p>\n<p>Throughout 2019, Global Peace will convene a series of Inter-Generational Dialogues that will be held in a minimum of 100 cities across the world.<\/p>\n<p>Facilitated through the Global Peace Secretariat, based at the ACCORD Headquarters in Durban, South Africa, local volunteers and community interlocutors will organise a 2-hour interactive session, where young future leaders will dialogue with current leaders on their aspirations for what a better world should look like.<\/p>\n<p>The dialogue will be guided by a set of questions that will involve local and global issues and be based largely on advancing the UN\u2019s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). <\/p>\n<p><b><\/b>The future of global peace<\/p>\n<p>The aspirations and outputs from the dialogues, held globally, will be collated into a Global Peace Charter which aims to be adopted at the Global Peace Dialogue in November 2019 in Durban, South Africa and presented to the UNSG.<\/p>\n<p>The UNSG will be requested to host the first Global Peace Forum in New York in 2020 on the 75th Anniversary of the founding of the United Nations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a
