Recognizing the close link between peacebuilding and arms control, the Greater Accra Regional Office of the Commission hosted a delegation led by Rt. Rev. Samuel Kofi Osabutey, Chairman of the Greater Accra Region Peace Council, to explore avenues for deeper collaboration in promoting peace, security, and violence prevention.

Welcoming the delegation, the Greater Accra Regional Head of NACSA, Mr. Abdul Rashid Gbambu, highlighted the Commission's ongoing efforts to reduce gun violence through stakeholder engagement, advocacy, and preventive education. Discussions also focused on opportunities for joint outreach programs, particularly among young people and vulnerable communities in the Greater Accra Region.

The meeting builds on a successful model of collaboration already being implemented in the Ashanti Region, where NACSA and the NPC have jointly undertaken sensitization programs in schools and communities, reaching hundreds of students and community leaders with messages on peacebuilding, conflict prevention, and the dangers of small arms proliferation.

NACSA expresses its appreciation to the National Peace Council for its continuous partnership and commitment to advancing peace across the country. The Commission acknowledges the significant impact of the joint engagements undertaken so far and reaffirms its readiness to strengthen collaborations aimed at promoting a gun-violence-free Ghana.
