The Ashanti Regional Offices of the National Commission on Small Arms and Light Weapons and the National Peace Council, Ghana have intensified collaborative efforts to promote peace and security among young people in the region.

Through a series of sensitisation programmes, the team visited T.I. Ahmadiyya Senior High School and Nima Nasrudeen Islamic School.
The joint outreach engaged over 1,800 students, teachers and school administrators, providing a forum to address concerns on school-related violence, responsible firearm possession and peaceful coexistence.

Representing NACSA, Mr. Emmanuel Kenneth Oduro, Acting Ashanti Regional Head and Mr. Jake Commey, Assistant Programmes Officer, led discussions on the dangers associated with the proliferation and misuse of small arms, the legal implications of unlawful firearm possession and the devastating impact of gun violence on individuals, schools and communities.

The National Peace Council complemented the discussions with sessions on conflict prevention, dialogue, tolerance and peaceful dispute resolution, highlighting the importance of fostering a culture of peace both within and beyond the classroom.

These engagements generated active participation from students and staff, underscoring the growing importance of school-based education in shaping responsible young citizens and preventing arms-related incidents.
