The organizers added that Diasporas, are a group of people who migrate from their ancestral homeland to another land but maintain active communications between them. There are more than 3% of the world’s populations have migrated across the globe. Technology has provided affordable transport and communication binding them more closely together. Over 180 million Diasporans across the globe come from Africa, 12.9% of which comes from Ghana.
“The diaspora communities make vital but often unrecognized contributions to the progress of their living countries, it is crucial we continue to think about how Ghana can ‘brain gain’ and identify ways in which they can contribute back home. What better way to support those coming back home than to provide them with jobs and networking opportunities.”
