The Global and Ghanaian diaspora plays a crucial role in the country's socio-economic development, contributing significantly through remittances, investments, and knowledge transfer. It is estimated that between 1.5 million and 3 million Ghanaians live abroad, primarily in Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, the UK, the USA, Germany, the Netherlands, and Canada.
Recognizing the Power of the Diaspora
To harness the potential of this global network, Diaspora Affairs GH was established in 2022. This organization serves as a vital link between the Ghanaian government and the diaspora, facilitating their engagement in national development initiatives.
