Ghana and three other West African Countries Collaborate to Strengthen Security and Border Management with the support of the European Union.

The countries made the commitment at the end of a two-day high-level regional conference on Border Management held in Accra from 8 – 10 November 2021. The conference was organised under the Strengthening Border Security in Ghana (SBS Ghana) project to discuss issues related to security and cross-border cooperation.

The objective of the Regional Conference was to propose policy solutions to strengthen coordination and cooperation at the operational level in cross-border areas. The conference, took a dual format, with both high-level meetings at the Ministerial level and a Technical workshop with border management agencies.

The European Union Emergency Trust Fund for Africa (EUTF), funds the SBS Ghana project implemented by the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD) in collaboration with the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS).
