The Ghana Independent Broadcasters Association (GIBA) Volta Regional Caucus, in partnership with Gold City Radio, has launched Voices from the Border: Understanding Migration and Free Movement, a regional media initiative aimed at promoting public awareness of cross-border issues.

The project, unveiled on 6 July 2026, is scheduled to commence on Monday, 30 August 2026, with a weekly two-hour live multimedia broadcast from communities along the Ghana-Togo border.

According to GIBA, the programme will be broadcast every Monday morning from border posts, transport hubs and frontier markets, replacing the traditional studio format with live outdoor town hall-style discussions.

The initiative seeks to improve public understanding of the ECOWAS Free Movement Protocol, customs regulations and digital financial safety, while strengthening engagement between border management agencies and communities.

Speaking at the launch, GIBA Volta Regional Coordinator and Project Lead, Francis Morkporkpor Anyomi, described the project as an important step in expanding the role of independent broadcasting in regional development.

"This is far more than a media project; it is a movement to amplify our collective voices towards the provision of our civic and social responsibility as a media fraternity in this region. For too long, our frontier communities have operated under information isolation. We are stepping out to bridge that gap," he said.

Mr Anyomi also thanked independent media organisations across the Volta Region that have joined the broadcast syndicate, which will relay the programme simultaneously across multiple radio stations.

He said the level of support received from station managers and broadcasters demonstrated the willingness of independent media to contribute to regional development.

Mr Anyomi further encouraged media houses that have not yet joined the syndication network to do so before the project's launch.

"To the media houses who are yet to join this syndication, I urge you to act quickly. Be fast about it and secure your station's place in this historic network before we take off on 30th August 2026," he said.

GIBA said the project is intended to serve as a long-term communications platform that can be replicated along other international borders in West Africa.

The association also invited radio stations interested in joining the syndicate or obtaining technical relay codes to contact the GIBA Volta Regional Secretariat or the Gold City Radio project desk before the administrative deadline.
