Why it matters
Strengthening border management is critical for regional security and economic stability in West Africa, particularly at high-traffic entry points.
Efforts to strengthen security and improve service delivery at Ghana's busiest land border have received a boost as the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) at Aflao rolled out a comprehensive capacity-building programme for its officers.
The initiative, which has drawn participation and support from key security and regulatory agencies at the border, is aimed at enhancing coordination, professionalism and operational efficiency in managing cross-border movements.
