The Ghana Boundary Commission’s expertise is gaining recognition across Africa as it continues to provide mentorship to many African countries seeking to strengthen their Boundary Commissions.
In 2024, among many others, the Commission held an experience-sharing workshop for Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries.
Recognising Ghana’s experience and success, several African countries, grappling with the daunting task of establishing frameworks for their operations, sought guidance from the Ghana Boundary Commission.
In a 2024 assessment interview with JoyNews, Commissioner-General, Major General Emmanuel Kotia, expressed his commitment to strengthening the Commission’s influence further in 2025.

He said the “first instance of sharing our experience was with the Boundary Commissions of Guinea and Sierra Leone, which took place in Côte d’Ivoire. We were invited to share our experience on how to establish a Boundary Commission because those countries were in the process of setting up their own”.

The second instance of the mentorship was when the African Union Border Programme, in collaboration with GIZ, organized an expert workshop for Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries in Ghana. All the states participated, including Ethiopia from East Africa and Kenya.
Major General Emmanuel Kotia further stated, “What we did was to provide them with a framework for how the Ghana Boundary Commission was established and lay out some of the elements they require to establish their boundary commissions”.

He said, “The framework included aspects such as the law to establish the boundary commission, a strategic plan, a scheme of service for staff, and a legislative instrument establishing certain conditions and terms for staff.
