Faith-based institutions continue to play a vital role in promoting vigilance, peace and community resilience within border communities. Through engagements with worshippers at the SDA Church in Elubo in the Western Region and congregants at the Central Mosque in Lambussie-Karni in the Upper West Region, the Commission reinforced the importance of community participation in preventing illicit arms trafficking and other emerging security threats.

The sessions highlighted the critical role religious leaders and faith communities can play in identifying early warning signs, discouraging criminal activities and fostering a culture of peace and responsible firearms acquisition.

Particular attention was given to the need for children and young people in border communities to be guided towards positive values and informed decision-making, reducing their vulnerability to criminal exploitation, recruitment and involvement in illicit activities.

By engaging the SDA Church and the Central Mosque, NACSA continues to expand conversations on civilian vigilance to promote a gun-violence-free Ghana.
