The Accra Initiative (Al) is a cooperative and collaborative security mechanism, launched in 2017 under the leadership of the President of the Republic of Ghana, HE Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo with his colleagues from Benin, Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, and Togo. The current members of the Initiative are Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Togo, Mali, and Niger.

The Initiative aims to prevent a spill over of terrorism from the Sahel and to address transnational organized crime within the common border areas of member states. The initiative is to further exchange intelligence, build capacity and undertake military action against terrorist forces in the Sahel that threaten coastal west Africa. The Accra Initiative is an African-led, African-executed initiative which would depend solely on the armed forces of its member states.
