Today, 27 Participants from the Ghana Armed Forces, comprising 21 females and male six (6) males, are starting a 3-week training in the Military Observers Course to equip them with the relevant competencies to fruitfully discharge their duties and responsibilities when deployed in UN and Regional Peace Operations missions. The Course is one of interventions being implemented under the ongoing “Enhancing Ghana Armed Forces Capabilities to Address Barriers to Women in Peacekeeping” project, funded by Global Affairs Canada.
The female-predominant cohort is intended to address the barrier of ‘eligible pool’, which emerged as one of the top barriers to meaningful participation of Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) female personnel in UN peace operations, in the 2020 Measuring Opportunities for Women in Peace Operations (MOWIP) Report. The ‘eligible pool’ essentially means that GAF women were not distributed evenly across roles, ranks, units and functions, thereby limiting their opportunities for deployment to UN peace operations. The Course is thus one way that Canada’s Elsie Initiative project with KAIPTC is addressing this barrier – by increasing the pool of women officers eligible to deploy as Military Observers.
