Report on Inter-Party Youth Dialogue Committee (IPYDC) Training on Understanding Conflict, Integrity and Early Warning
The West Africa Network for Peacebuilding, Ghana (WANEP-Ghana) held a training workshop for members of their Inter Party Youth Dialogue Committee (IPYDCs) from five regions. The participants were from Tamale, Sunyani, Ho, Takoradi and Kumasi under its Youth in Election (YiEL) project. The workshop included 10 participants from District Assemblies in the Western Region.
The Youth in Election project was developed based on findings of a research WANEP-Ghana participated in, in conflict prone areas of Tamale and Yendi, Bawku and Wa in the Northern, Upper East and Upper West regions of Ghana. One of the key findings of the research was that the youth (aged 18 to 35) were mostly influenced by individuals and groups including politicians to engage in violent actions against opponents. Statistics on WANEP-Ghana’s database asserted to the finding that politically motivated youth violence were on the increase in most parts of the country.
