For the EU, Ghana is seen as not just a trade partner but also as a strategic ally dedicated to international peace and security.
Beyond military support, Ghana’s engagement with the EU extends to comprehensive initiatives that address the root causes of conflict and promote long-term stability.
The EU has invested in over 30 programs, focusing on the training of security forces, enhancing border and maritime security, and fostering conflict prevention.


Additionally, the EU’s Global Gateway strategy is driving significant investments, including GHS 3.5 billion (€220 million) to improve public services, create jobs, and empower local communities in northern Ghana.
This holistic approach, blending security, diplomacy, and development, is based on the belief that sustainable peace and prosperity require both protection and opportunity.
Ghana’s youth have benefited from educational exchanges, skills training, and entrepreneurship initiatives, further strengthening long-term ties between the two regions.
