The Upper East Regional Peace Council has engaged residents of Nakolo, a community in the Kassena Nankana West District of the Upper East Region, on violent extremism. The project, which forms part of the Atlantic Project aimed at preventing and responding to violent extremism, had over 200 participants in attendance. The theme of the project is building trust between security agencies and border communities through community forums. It was sponsored by the governments of Denmark, Norway, Germany, and Australia through the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). Addressing the gathering, the Head of Operations and Intelligence at the Paga sector command of the Ghana Immigration Service, Deputy Superintendent of Immigration (DSI), Robert Ubindam, pointed out that there was a need for them to build trust with the community so that they can collaborate with the security services and give information on happenings that were unusual in their communities.
