West African Training Center Gaining Momentum

In just the few short months since CTP opened the Regional Training Center (RTC) in Accra, the dividends are already appearing for the host Ghanaian government, the neighboring regional countries, and the funding agency: International Narcotics & Law Enforcement (INL) within the State Department. Their recent post on the INL web site gives encouraging details of specific progress and ongoing efforts. See link below.

In related news, CTP is receiving numerous requests from other agencies to utilize the RTC, all part of the West African Cooperative Security Initiative (WACSI).
