Ghana hold security meeting with US

Ghana National Security Coordinator Joshua Kyeremeh, US Chargé d’Affaires Christopher J. Lamora and US Ambassador (retired) Michael Arietti delivered opening remarks, underscoring both nations’ commitment to improving security sector governance in Ghana.

SGI is a partnership between the Government of Ghana and the United States aimed at improving the effectiveness of Ghana’s security sector.

The United States also has SGI partnerships with Kenya, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and Tunisia.

Under SGI, in 2016 Ghana and the United States signed a Joint Country Action Plan (JCAP), which identified three priority areas of the partnership: Maritime Security, Border Security, and Cyber Security.

A fourth cross-cutting theme, Administration of Justice, provides holistic coverage on the range of issues that impact these sectors.
