The Kofi Annan International Peace\u00adkeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC) has graduated 104 postgraduate students at its 13th graduation in Accra.<\/p>\n
The graduands pursued Master of Arts degree in gender, peace and security, Master of Arts degree in conflict, peace and security, and Executive Master of Arts degree in conflict, peace and security<\/p>\n
It was under the theme \u201cTwo decades of excellence: Promoting peace and security in a changing world order.\u201d<\/p>\n
Osabarima Ansah Sasraku II, Mamfehene and Kyidomhene of the Akuapem Traditional Area, underscored the need to invest in educa\u00adtion and skills development to equip the youth for sustainable growth.<\/p>\n
He said strengthening institutions and creating jobs, especially for the youth, were critical steps towards lasting peace.<\/p>\n
\u201cEncouraging entrepreneurship and fos\u00adtering innovation, especially among the youth, will help drive economic transformation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Osabarima Ansah Sasraku II charged the graduands to champion good governance, justice, human rights, and accountability.<\/p>\n
He also encouraged them to use their training to build resilient communities and contribute to conflict prevention, peacebuild\u00ading, and economic development.<\/p>\n
\u201cYour expertise and commitment to peace and security will drive meaningful change,\u201d he said, urging everyone to embrace their roles in creating a peaceful and just world.<\/p>\n
To address Africa\u2019s security challenges, the Mamfehene called for better conflict pre\u00advention mechanisms, including early warning systems and dialogue facilitation.<\/p>\n
He called for significant reforms in the United Nations Security Council to ensure Africa\u2019s interests were better represented.<\/p>\n
He emphasized the need to expand perma\u00adnent membership to include African countries or regional blocs, which would reflect the con\u00adtinent\u2019s growing importance in global affairs.<\/p>\n
Osabarima Ansah Sasraku II also proposed increasing non-permanent seats to amplify Af\u00adrican voices in decision-making and adopting a system that allows fair regional representation.<\/p>\n
The Mamfehene highlighted the impor\u00adtance of transparency and accountability in the Security Council\u2019s operations.<\/p>\n
In his address, the Commandant of KAIPTC, Major General Addo-Gyane, reflected on the institution\u2019s journey since its inception in 2004. \u201cFrom humble beginnings, KAIPTC has grown into a world-class insti\u00adtution for cutting-edge research and capaci\u00adty-building in conflict, peace, and security,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He praised the graduates as peace ambas\u00adsadors equipped to tackle Africa\u2019s pressing challenges.<\/p>\n
The Commandant stressed that educa\u00adtion must drive social and economic change, urging the graduands to use their knowledge to empower communities and promote lasting peace.<\/p>\n
He announced the establishment of the Kofi Annan School of Peace and Security Studies (KASPSS) as part of Ghana\u2019s National Defence University.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have Plans to introduce undergraduate programmes and expand the Women, Youth, Peace, and Security Institute,\u201d he said<\/p>\n
As Ghana heads to the polls in December, the Commandant called for peace, tolerance, and respect for democratic processes.<\/p>\n
\u201cGhana has a strong tradition of free and fair elections. Let\u2019s uphold this legacy and set an example for the world,\u201d he urged.<\/p>\n
The occasion was used to launch of the Second Edition of KAIPTC<\/p>\n
