As the security situation continues to deteriorate in the Sahel, the spill-over of violence and conflict from Burkina Faso, resulting in more than 16 000 asylum seekers in the Upper East and Upper West Regions of Ghana, represents a concrete threat, while the 2024 general elections are associated to an increased risk for violence."}, {"bbox": [95, 1220, 1132, 1405], "category": "Text", "text": "The proposed action will contribute to security, conflict prevention, and the fight against violent extremism, terrorism and transnational organised crime in Ghana (Overall objective/Impact).
