[ACCI-CAVIE] Ghana is bolstering its border surveillance capabilities in an increasingly unstable regional context. Through a historic defense agreement with the European Union, the Ghanaian army has officially received a significant supply of surveillance drones and counter-drone systems. This partnership, funded with 50 million euros via the European Peace Facility, aims to protect the country against the expansion of jihadist groups operating from the Sahel toward the coastal countries of the Gulf of Guinea.

Beyond the delivery of advanced technological equipment, this agreement provides for deep cooperation in cybersecurity, intelligence sharing, and crisis management. The deployment of drones and mobile logistical assets, such as patrol motorcycles, allows security forces to cover hard-to-reach areas and better control porous borders. This strategy of anticipation is crucial for preserving the stability of Ghana, which is often cited as a model of peace in a high-pressure security zone.
