The Kofi Annan International Peacekeeping Training Centre (KAIPTC) has taken a significant step towards strengthening its network of alumni by launching the first-ever National Alumni Chapter in Sierra Leone.

This initiative marks the beginning of a broader project to establish alumni chapters across various nations, particularly those whose citizens have been trained and impacted by the Centre’s work in peacekeeping and security.

The official launch, led by the Commandant of KAIPTC, Major General Richard Addo Gyane, took place on 11th October 2024 at the Bintumani Hotel in Freetown, Sierra Leone. During the ceremony, Maj Gen Gyane swore in an Interim National Executive Committee to spearhead the activities of the new chapter. The selection process for the committee was supervised by Dr. Remember Nyaminge, a Course Facilitator at the KAIPTC.
