In the face of increasing global mobility, border management has become a critical
aspect of national security, economic development, and humanitarian concerns.
Ghana, like many other countries, grapples with the challenges of managing its
borders effectively, balancing the need to facilitate legitimate travel and trade while
preventing illegal activities and ensuring national security.
The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS), responsible for managing the country’s
borders, faces numerous challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, limited
resources, and manual processes that lead to inefficiencies and vulnerabilities. The
advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and related technologies offers a transformative
solution to these challenges, enabling the development of intelligent border
management systems that enhance security, facilitate legitimate travel, and improve
the overall efficiency of immigration services.
This book, “Intelligent Border Management: Leveraging AI for Enhanced
Immigration Services in Ghana,” explores the potential of AI in revolutionizing border
management in Ghana. It examines the current state of border management in the
country, the challenges and limitations of existing systems, and the opportunities
presented by AI and related technologies.
