The new study provides important insights into the situation of Ghana and Togo on the security chessboard in the region between the Sahel and the Gulf of Guinea. Both countries have increasingly become the focus of jihadist groups in recent years, especially due to the deteriorating security situation in Burkina Faso and Mali. The study looks at the varying degrees of jihadist terrorist threat in the West African countries on the Gulf of Guinea and sheds light on intergovernmental approaches in order to arm themselves against the growing danger of jihadist terror.

This publication is the result of several field studies conducted by Promediation's local teams and consultants as part of their programmes in the Sahel and the Gulf of Guinea.
