The European Union has donated a range of non-lethal equipment to the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) to bolster their operational effectiveness and enhance national security efforts.

The donation, which includes civil engineering tools, advanced communication systems, and riverine assets, was officially handed over at a ceremony held at the 49 Engineer Regiment last week.

According to the Defence Minister, Omane Boamah, the equipment will play a crucial role in strengthening Ghana’s human security initiatives, supporting social interventions, and safeguarding vulnerable borders.

It is also expected to enhance the military’s capacity to counter emerging security threats.

The ceremony was attended by senior military officers, government officials, members of the diplomatic corps, and the media, who all acknowledged the significance of the collaboration in addressing Ghana’s security challenges.
