The European Union has announced new plans to help Ghana's defence and security forces. This support is expected to begin next year.

The assistance will be given under the European Peace Facility. It is designed to help Ghana manage increasing security challenges in its neighbourhood.

The goal is to prevent security issues from spreading into Ghana and the wider sub-region.

Details about the specific types of support were not immediately available.

This initiative highlights the EU's commitment to regional stability.

Ghana faces various security threats, including those from neighbouring countries.

The European Union stated that the support will strengthen Ghana's capacity to respond to these threats.

Further information will be provided as the program develops.
