The United States has donated military equipment worth $4 million to the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) as part of efforts to strengthen Ghana’s defence and security capabilities.
The donation includes protective gear, radar systems and training materials aimed at enhancing the operational capacity of the Ghana Army and Ghana Navy, particularly in surveillance, communication and maritime security.
Announcing the donation, the United States described the gesture as a demonstration of its enduring security partnership with Ghana and a shared commitment to addressing emerging security threats.
“The United States is proud to continue its longstanding security partnership with Ghana through the donation of $4 million in military equipment to the Ghana Armed Forces,” it said.
According to the US, the equipment will significantly enhance the capabilities of both the Ghana Army and the Ghana Navy.
“The equipment—including protective gear, radar systems and training materials—will support the Ghana Army and Ghana Navy in strengthening surveillance, communication, and operational capabilities,” the statement said.
The US further noted that the donation reflects the strong defence cooperation between the two countries and their collective resolve to promote peace and security across the region.
“This donation reflects our shared commitment to regional stability, maritime security, and addressing transnational threats,” it added.
The latest support forms part of ongoing defence cooperation between Ghana and the United States aimed at improving the readiness and operational effectiveness of the Ghana Armed Forces in responding to evolving security threats within the sub-region.
