The Savannah, Upper East and Upper West regions of Ghana have commenced a 4-day consultative meeting with their cross-border regional neighbours Djoro, Nakamba, Nando and Nazinon in Burkina Faso. The meeting, which is happening at Po, Bukina Faso was facilitated by the Ghana Boundary Commission and the National Boundary Secretariat of Burkina Faso as part of the implementation of the Framework Agreement on Cross-Border and the Memorandum of Understandibg on the Establishment of Periodic Consultation between the Border Administrative Authorities signed by the Foreign Ministers of the two states in February this year. The meeting aims to review and validate a Convention for the establishment of a framework for consultation between the cross-border regions as part of promoting the integrated and coordinated management of the common land boundary.
Opening the meeting, the Governor of the region of Nazinon in Burkina Faso, Madam Yvette Massadalou SANO, stressed the need for both countries to strengthen the management of their common boundary as a shared responsibility.
She called on the regional administrative and traditional authorities present at the meeting to consider the borders as bridges of collaboration and cultural development and not as those of administrative ties, adding that the proposals from the meeting will bring change to the lives of residents along the boundaries.
Madam Massadalou SANOU further encouraged participants of the meeting to preserve \u201cthe cordial ties of fraternity and authority that exist between the two countries.\u201d
In hos submission as the leader of the Ghanaian delegation, the Commissioner General of the Ghana Boundary Commission, Major General Anthony Ntem indicated that the boundary between Ghana and Burkina Faso is a space of coexistence and peaceful cooperation. He also underscored the importance of establishing the necessary frameworks to support and strengthen this longstanding peaceful cooperation between the two states.
Major General Ntem highlighted the shared potentials and mutual challenges of the cross-border regions, and urged that enhanced cooperation in border management between the two countries is the surest way to jointly unlock these potentials and address common challenges.
The Commissioner General was optimistic that the meeting will yield results that will make significant contributions towards peace, stability and sustainable development in the shared border space of the two countries.
He called for the active engagement of all members and asked them to share experiences and contribute constructively to achieve the purpose of the meeting.
\u201cThe diverse expertise present in this room should be used to find practical solutions, strengthen existing mechanisms and develop recommendations that are realistic, responsive and able to deliver tangible benefits to our communities,\u201d the Major General advised.
The West African Regional Coordinator of the GIZ\/African Union Border Programme, Mr Mamoudou TAPILY, added his voice to the call for the two countries to come together to manage the boundaries and pull resources to prevent conflict in the border regions.
He also reminded traditional authority of the effect they had on the ground and advocated for their active involvement in boundary management.
He lauded the Ghana Boundary Commission and the National Boundary Secretariat of Burkina Faso for their commitment to the effective implementation of the SKBoWa Project, a GIZ sponsored project under whose auspices the meeting is being held.
The consultative meeting is expected to run from 18 to 21 June 2026, and climaxed with the signing of the Convention for the establishment of a Framework for Consultation between the participating regions on 22 June 2026.
