The workshop which was funded by UEMOA is being held at the Blue Hills Hotel, Wa in the Upper West Region of Ghana from 22-24 June 2023. <br \/>In his Opening Remarks, the Upper West Regional, Hon Dr Hafiz bin Salih highlighted that Ghana, Burkina Faso and Cote d&#8217;Ivoire share common borders, cultures, and histories that calls for a consensual need to promote peace, security, planning, and development in the Black Volta Community. He emphasised that the integration of the three countries was not merely a political endeavour, but rather a vision that seeks to respond appropriately to the climate, social, economic, and security problems faced in the Community.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7526cb6 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con
