Major General Richard Addo Gyane, Commandant of the Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC), has underscored the power of e-learning during his keynote address at the 2024 E-Learning International Conference held at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
The conference served as a platform for stakeholders from Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, and beyond to share knowledge and showcase advancements in e-learning solutions.
Inspired by the transformative impact of technology during the Covid-19 pandemic, General Gyane emphasised that e-learning is not just about the tech itself, but about harnessing its potential to drive positive change and development in Africa.

The Commandant placed particular emphasis on leveraging technology to expand the reach of the KAIPTC's Women, Youth Peace and Security Institute (WYPSI).
This initiative aims to actively engage African youth in peacebuilding efforts, recognizing their crucial role as agents for positive social development.
Human Touch in a Digital Age The Vice Chancellor of KNUST, Prof Akosua Dickson, echoed the importance of collaboration and inclusivity in e-learning.
Highlighting the human element at the heart of technological progress, she emphasized that the true value lies in the people who participate in these initiatives.

She emphasised the importance of carrying the momentum forward by leveraging the connections forged at the conference and fostering collaboration, stakeholders to create a truly inclusive and transformative e-learning landscape that drives peace and prosperity across Africa.
