The Africa Peace Advocate Award event, which took place on September 21, 2023, at the Pottersville Church International, was a heartwarming celebration of the tireless efforts of over 30 Ghanaian individuals dedicated to promoting peace within their communities and beyond.
This significant gathering brought together influential figures, activists, and peace supporters from across Ghana.
The primary objective of the Africa Peace Advocate Award event was to recognize and pay tribute to Ghanaians who have effectively employed their platforms to raise awareness, facilitate dialogue, and inspire action towards the realization of enduring peace.
The honorees were carefully selected based on their extraordinary contributions and their substantial positive influence on society.
One of the distinguished recipients was Joseph Kobla Wemakor, a well-known journalist and passionate advocate for peace.
Through his unwavering commitment to unbiased reporting and his relentless efforts to underscore the importance of peaceful coexistence, he has played an instrumental role in resolving conflicts and promoting understanding among diverse communities.
