During our visit to Ghana, the Garvey-Nkrumah Global Legal Fellows—led by Professor Woods of Howard University Law—visited the Jubilee House, the presidential palace in Accra that serves as a residence and office to the President of Ghana.
The Garvey-Nkrumah team of diaspora legal professionals representing institutions from Africa the USA, and Caribbean, then convened with President H.E Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, and Mr. Akwasi Awua Ababio—the Directorate of the Diaspora Affairs Office of the President. This meeting centered on Ghana’s diaspora engagement efforts, including the Diaspora Engagement Policy—a flagship initiative launched on December 13th, 2023, which serves to coordinate the activities of various institutions to engage Ghanaians abroad effectively. The Diaspora Affairs Office emphasized the importance of involving the diaspora in national development and leveraging their resources for mutual benefit.

What a great opportunity and privilege to meet the President of Ghana, the Director of Diaspora Affairs and other governments officials, listen to dialogue on policy initiatives with global implications, then have engaging side chats and make connections! The experience was incredible… I look forward to more!
Onward & Upward!
