In general terms cooperation and collaboration between regulatory border agencies and other stakeholders is good. However, challenges exist concerning aligning staffing levels and working hours at all entry and exit points.
Formal committees are established at key locations and organize quarterly meetings, but these tend to focus on security matters.
Ghana needs support to enhance overall coordination to include alignment of working hours, procedures, and availability to conducting joint controls at all times.
