The ongoing refugee registration exercise in Ghana has been expanded to include the Western Region and Volta Region, authorities have announced. The exercise, aimed at providing official documentation and support for refugees living in the country, seeks to ensure that all eligible individuals are properly registered and can access humanitarian assistance.
Officials from the National Refugee Authority emphasized that the registration process is crucial for identifying the needs of refugees, facilitating access to healthcare, education, and social services, and improving overall protection measures. They also urged refugees and asylum seekers in the newly added regions to participate fully in the exercise.
The expansion to the Western and Volta Regions is part of the government’s commitment to strengthening refugee management and ensuring that vulnerable populations across Ghana receive the support and services they require. Local authorities have been mobilized to assist with logistics and community awareness to ensure a smooth registration process.
