STAR-Ghana Foundation engages border communities on social cohesion and livelihoods support to build resilience to border security threats

 

03 Nov, 2022

Residents of selected border communities in Ghana’s Upper East region have identified among other interventions, the promotion of dialogue between community members and border security agencies, as well as the provision of livelihood support schemes as effective strategies for strengthening border management and building resilience. This comes in the wake of threats of radicalization and infiltration by violent extremists whose attacks have been recorded in countries sharing close borders with Ghana. These proposals were proffered at inception meetings on the implementation of the Community Cohesion and the Community Livelihoods Empowerment Projects organized by STAR-Ghana Foundation with funding from the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
