He spoke to the media at the side of the launch of the 2024 edition of the Kofi Annan Peace and Security forum to be held between February 27 to 28
The 2024 Kofi Annan Peace and Security (KAPS) Forum, aimed at stimulating critical discussions on migration and peacebuilding in Africa, is scheduled to take place from February 27 to 28, 2024.
Hosted by the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC), this year’s KAPS Forum will revolve around the theme: “Migration and Societal Resilience in a Multipolar World Order: Addressing Conflicts and Building Peace in Africa.” The event seeks to honour the late Mr Kofi Annan, former UN Secretary-General, for his contributions to peacekeeping and global peace and security.
President Nana Addo Dankwah Akuffo-Addo will grace the occasion as the guest of honour. The forum anticipates the attendance of around 200 delegates, including former African Heads of State, government officials, high-level diplomats, and representatives from the United Nations, African Union, and Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).
The forum will feature discussions on migration, sustainable development, conflicts, and societal resilience in a multipolar world order, all of which are crucial factors driving migration in Africa.
The KAPS Forum 2024 is funded by the Governments of Norway and Germany, with implementation overseen by the German Technical Cooperation (GIZ).
