The Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC) in Accra and the Kofi Annan Foundation in Geneva are jointly hosting the second edition of the Kofi Annan Peace and Security Forum (KAPS Forum) from today December 8 to December 9, 2021.
The two institutions are coming together based on their shared commitment to the values of the late Mr Kofi Annan, whose understanding of peace was founded on a holistic vision of societies based on good governance, democracy, and human rights, especially in Africa.
The KAPS Forum is funded by the Government of Norway, the Federal Government of Germany, and the Swedish Government.
The Forum will bring together over two hundred delegates including former African Heads of State and high-level diplomats from governmental and intergovernmental organizations, including Kofi Annan Foundation Chair of the Board Elhajd As Sy.
The KAPS Forum, which will be dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) Protocol on Democracy and Good Governance, is taking place at the Kofi Annan International Peace Training Centre in Accra, Ghana.
The 2021 edition of the forum will adopt a hybrid format and focus on the theme: ‘Democracy in the Context of Complex Crises in West Africa’.
Against the backdrop of the 20th Anniversary of the Protocol on Democracy and Good Governance, and Ghana being the current Chair of ECOWAS, the 2021 KAPS Forum will aim at building political will to reaffirm the avowed commitment to democracy and credible elections.
