Descripción de la actividad

On 11-12 October 2018, the African Union organized a high-level workshop on “Silencing the Guns in Africa by 2020” in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The scope of the workshop was to identify elements for an action plan aiming at fast-tracking the implementation of the African Union Silence the Guns in Africa by 2020 strategy.  Participants, including high-level representatives from the AU, UN, regional and civil society organisations, agreed on the need to make progresses in several areas, e.g. governance, ensuring the effectiveness of existing mechanisms; involvement of women and youth in all major discussions; ensuring adequate and diversified communications around Silencing the Guns in Africa by 2020.
