NABOCADO has completed community entry and project sensitisation engagements across 10 mining communities in the Talensi and Bawku West districts of the Upper East Region.
The engagements introduced chiefs, queen mothers, youth leaders, miners and other community members to the project “Strengthening Community Resilience to Reduce Vulnerabilities to Violent Extremism”, funded by the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives (CFLI) through the High Commission of Canada to Ghana, Togo and Sierra Leone.
Through community–security interface meetings, safe reporting and referral pathways, community action plans, stakeholder training, radio sensitisation and public education, the project seeks to strengthen community resilience and reduce vulnerabilities to violent extremism.
We are grateful to the traditional authorities, community leaders and members for their warm reception and willingness to work with us towards safer and more resilient communities.
