AS PART OF THE YEAR OF THE RETURN

The Ghana Diaspora Celebration & Homecoming Summit 2019 (GDHS’19) is a four-day event recognizing and celebrating the immense contributions to nation building by the Ghanaian Diaspora. The event will not only highlight past contributions but will focus on present contributions as well, whiles furthering the advocacy for political, economic, and all other systems and policies that would facilitate future contributions by the Ghanaian Diaspora.

And in light of the fourth centennial commemoration of the arrival of enslaved Africans in the western hemisphere, this event recognizes that the Ghanaian Diaspora extends beyond Ghanaian citizens or nationals and their immediate relatives, but also include others outside the borders of Ghana, with roots to, or a strong vested interest in the country. This recognition, is based upon the need and desire for a long-term engagement between Ghana and her important stakeholder constituency. It is accompanied by the Ghana Government’s open-arm policy to all people of African descent.

The Ghana Diaspora Celebration and Homecoming Summit, part of the overall Year of Return series of event, extends a warm invitation to all to support this event to celebrate the contributions of Ghanaians who left and returned home to help build mother Ghana.

A Gala night will be held on the closing July 6 evening, in the presence of the President and Vice-President of Ghana. See attached document.
