Key Highlights:
- Campaign Name: Silence the Gun, Save a Life.
- Support: Funded by SALIENT, UNDP, and UNODC, with backing from international partners like Finland and Japan.
- Activities: Included stakeholder engagements, a Peace March, cultural displays, and a documentary highlighting the dangers of illegal arms.

The initiative marked a significant step towards curbing small arms trafficking in Aflao, a hotspot for illegal arms trading on Ghana’s border with Togo.
