Speaking at the closing ceremony of the 2025 Conflict and Crisis Management Course at the Ghana Armed Forces Command and Staff College in Accra, the Deputy Minister for the Interior, Hon. Ebenezer Okletey Terlabi, underscored the importance of inter-agency collaboration in conflict and crisis management.
According to him, effective crisis management is often the responsibility of a single institution, and successful conflict and crisis response relies on the collective input and coordination of multiple stakeholders.
He commended the course for fostering inter-agency collaboration among participants from Ghana and other countries.
The Deputy Minister noted that the consequences of conflict and crisis in Ghana are significant, citing examples such as chieftaincy and ethnic disputes, religious tensions, natural disasters, and illegal small-scale mining activities.
Hon. Terlabi congratulated the participants for their dedication and active engagement throughout the course and encouraged them to put the knowledge and skills acquired into practice.
The 2025 cohort had participants from Benin, Botswana, Côte d’Ivoire, Gambia, Guinea, Liberia, Malawi, Namibia, Nigeria, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, South Africa, Tanzania, Togo, and Zambia.
The Course provided participants with a clearer understanding of conflict and internal crisis management, enabling them to work more effectively, efficiently, and cohesively.
