Ghana Boundary Commission assesses Oti border communities as residents demand roads, healthcare and security

The Ghana Boundary Commission said the exercise reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding Ghana's international boundaries, strengthening boundary governance and promoting the socio-economic development of border communities through sustained collaboration with traditional authorities, local assemblies, security agencies and development partners.

Border communities along the Ghana–Togo frontier in the Oti Region have renewed calls for improved roads, healthcare, telecommunications and security after the Ghana Boundary Commission concluded a five-day operational assessment aimed at strengthening border governance and assessing development challenges in the area.

Discussions centred on security along the Ghana–Togo boundary, the condition of International Boundary Pillars, cross-border cooperation and the human security concerns facing residents.
