Mr Louis Kuukpen, the UNDP Assistant Country Director, said the gesture was to facilitate the Council’s mandate to ensure peace and security in the country.

He pledged their continuous support to government to ensure there was peace in all spheres, saying there cannot be peace without development. He commended the Council for playing its role in the prevention of conflict and urged them to continue with their good work.

Mr Paolo Salvia, Head of Political Section of the EU Delegation in Ghana, recognised the work of the peace council for its decentralised scope of work across the country.Professor Emmanuel Asante, Chairman of the Council, thanked the partners for their support and promised to make good use of the logistics in enhancing its work.
