The UN and Ghana jointly announced on Friday that December's UN Peacekeeping Ministerial meeting will be hosted in Accra, at a time when some African nations are questioning the value of having 'blue helmets' on their soil.
To complete the process, please follow the instructions in the email we just sent you."Ghana and Africa's contributions to peacekeeping are advancing beyond troop contributions to offering a vital forum in which countries can unite and collaborate on innovative strategies to address current challenges and discuss the future of peacekeeping," said Atul Khare, who heads up Operational Support for the UN.
"I look forward to the formation of partnerships amongst participants to enhance the effectiveness of our peacekeepers, elevate the quality of their medical care, and foster environmentally responsible operations." The meeting in Accra is the latest in a series of high-level events that have seen world leaders pledge resources to help UN peacekeeping missions fully implement their mandates.
Generous contributions by various Member States at similar meetings have helped generate rapidly deployable military units, key aviation assets, better medical capacities, and helped advance the Women, Peace, and Security Agenda.
