Anti-Violence Advocacy Network[edit]

The Anti-Violence Advocacy Network was formed from the Young Adult Cadet Corps in Ghana. This network provides education and leadership skills to the public on the dangers involved in violence extremism and how to overcome them.[1].

History[edit]

Assistant Commissioner Of Police and the founder of CTECC/HROT, Raymond Adofiem Wejong brought up the initiative as part of his vision to make Ghana a safer country in 2017[2]. The Anti-Violence Advocacy Network was launched under Project Bambo which seeks to fight against crime and violence in our community[2].

Project[edit]

In 2021, personnels from both Ghana Immigration service and Ghana Police service were deployed to communities[3]. Personnels are being trained in various aspects such as Taekwondo, rapid response, crowd control and many more[4]. 4000 youth have also been trained as part of this initiative. Every year, he sponsors the Young Adult Cadet Corps to train new cadet members to join the Anti-Violence Advocacy Network[2]
