Vice President Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang has warned that fragmented and uncoordinated security responses in West Africa and the Sahel are no longer sustainable. She is therefore calling for stronger preventive, intelligence-led and cooperative approaches to confront the region’s growing security challenges. She was addressing a ministerial meeting of the High-Level Consultative Conference on Regional Cooperation and Security in Accra. The Vice President said Ghana’s President placed a high value on the conference, given the urgency of forging a shared understanding of the region’s security challenges. She observed that contemporary security threats were increasingly transnational and interlinked, cutting across borders, institutions and traditional policy silos.
