The lack of clarity on internal boundaries is causing disputes in Ghana. Minister Ahmed Ibrahim highlighted the need for adequate institutional capacity for effective boundary management. A reassessment of internal solutions, with a focus on local economic activities along borders, is crucial for addressing these issues.

Mr. Ahmed Ibrahim, the Minister of Local Government, Chieftaincy and Religious Affairs, discussed the ongoing issue of undefined internal boundaries leading to disputes across various traditional, district, region, and constituency levels. He emphasized that the formation of constituencies and boundaries overlooked the capacity of crucial institutions, such as the Statistical Service and the Electoral Commission, which are essential for the accurate management of these delineations.

The Minister’s statements underscore the necessity for reassessing boundary management to prevent disputes. Collaboration with local and international bodies, as well as the involvement of relevant institutions in boundary delineation, is critical for promoting sustainable economic growth and enhancing community livelihoods. The need for local solutions and immediate attention to economic activities along borders has been identified as vital for addressing the challenges faced by affected districts.
