US Vice President Kamala Harris pledged $100 million to help combat the threat of violent extremism and instability. ‘We recognize Ghana’s significant contribution to the Sahel, and I thank you for your leadership’ said Harris. The funding will support countries such as Benin, Ghana, Guinea, Côte d’Ivoire, and Togo. The Sahel region has been plagued by armed groups, violent extremists and criminal networks that have forced the closure of more than 10,000 schools and 7,000 health centers, affecting millions of children and citizens. Harris will also visit Tanzania and Zambia as part of her tour.
