The United Nations has awarded its U.N. Training Recognition certification to the Ghana Army Peace Operations Training School.
The school was awarded the certificate after a vigorous assessment of the training materials of the facility and a four-day onsite visit by the U.N. Training Assessment team, the Ghana Peace Journal reported.
The school, which is at the Bundase Training Camp near Accra, was established in June 2021 to train troops for peace support operations. Since then it has trained men and women for support operations in the subregion and other parts of the world.
Presenting the certificate, Maj. Gen.Thomas Oppong-Peprah said Ghana’s participation in global peace support operations will move to another level after the U.N. designation.
Brig. Gen. Stephen Wose Adzikpo Kweku Parbey noted that after the positive assessment, the school now is one of the U.N.’s recognized institutions with the authority to train and form troops for peacekeeping duties worldwide, the Daily Guide Network reported. Officials said the school soon will begin training partnerships with sister countries.
The ceremony also saw the commissioning of new projects at the school, the Multimedia Group of Ghana reported. The projects include the Bundase Spring Water Production Site, a regimental aid post to serve as a clinical facility and a social center.
