Abelenkpe Presbyterian Women’s Fellowship Empowered to Play Active Role in Maintaining Social Peace

Under the auspices of the European Partnership of Democracy and in collaboration with the NCCE, the Women and Youth in Democracy (WYDE) civic engagement project was held with the Women’s Group of the Presbyterian Women’s Fellowship at Abelenkpe in the Ayawaso West Municipality. The session aimed to educate women on their roles in maintaining peace and stability after elections.

The Greater Accra Regional Director of the NCCE, Mr. Mawuli Agbenu, led discussions on Post-Election Peace and Stability, The Consequences of Post-Election Violence, and Addressing Post-Election Misinformation and Disinformation. He emphasised the need for women to be key advocates for unity in their communities and help counter misinformation that could incite unrest.

The engagement reinforced the Commission’s commitment to promoting civic awareness and democratic resilience. By involving women in these discussions, the initiative seeks to strengthen community efforts in preventing post-election conflicts and fostering national stability.
