Peace Building Conferences for Citizens of the 3 Northern Regions of Ghana

The Africa Peace Building Club is the only NGO in Ghana that works currently on educating the people of the three northern regions where is recently noted as conflict zones.

The organisation started the community conferencing since the year 2005 from region to region and also for those citizen of the north living in the south. Actually each of the three regions have its perculia problems and causes of conflicts and other forms of disturbances. some are CHIEFATANCY, LAND, POLITICAL, etc.

The APBC realised the need to sensitize the people on the need to live in peace with people in and out of their communities so that the regions could attract investors for develpment and job creation.

So far, the fifth conference has just ended on the 15th march, 2008. more of such conferences will be organised soon arround the country.

The regions are rich in natural resources but government came and passed without giving the regions the needed developmental attention for that matter, the people also have problem with job seeking and have to travel to the south for greener pasture.

Your peace conferences sound very interesting - thank you for sharing! Others interested in learning more about APBC can go to the direct link to your profile on Kabissa at http://www.kabissa.org/apbc

Also, it would be useful for others working in peace building around Africa to learn more about how you are doing it. Let us know if you have other links to web resources covering these conferences that you are organizing, or partner organizations that you are working with, so we can all learn more about them.

If you have reports you can share you can add them to future posts to this site (you can attach documents as file attachments - preferably saved in Adobe PDF format if you can).

Best wishes,

Tobias

THANKS FOR YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT

I am happy and really appreciate your encouragement and support. I will also keep it up and do more and better.

 The APBC has no web resources and we have no partner as at now, however, we will be glad to get partners who will work with us in the field of peace building, leadership cultivation, community/national development and human rights.

I have reports of past programmes and will soon add them as you adviced.

 Thank you sir.

Sincerely,
