NCCE, EU Empower Youth to Combat Post-Election Tensions

The European Partnership for Democracy, in collaboration with the NCCE, organised an interactive session at the Kwame Nkrumah Water Park, Circle, to educate young people on post-election peace and stability. The engagement, under the Women and Youth in Democracy (WYDE) project, focused on addressing information disorder, misinformation, disinformation, and hate speech as well as the role of young adults in promoting national unity.

The NCCE Director of Communications and Corporate Affairs (CCA), Ms. Rita Ofosua Amparbin, led discussions on the importance of civic responsibility in safeguarding democracy. The Osu Police Commander took participants through Vigilantism and the Illicit Use of Arms and Its Impact on Stability. The session highlighted the dangers of political violence and the need for lawful engagement in democratic processes.

The initiative reinforced the shared commitment of the NCCE and the EU to equip young people with civic knowledge and tools necessary to prevent electoral conflicts and uphold peace in their communities.
