About Diaspora Affairs Gh | Our Mission & Vision

About Us

Welcome to Diaspora Affairs Gh.

Once Ghanaian President, Nana Akufo-Addo, declared 2019 the “Year of Return”, many of the Diasporas energetically started visiting Ghana. The increased influx brought about various assistance inquiries. The newfound volume of visitors, spurred a call for advocacy and information disbursement solutions.

Diaspora Affairs Gh was legally registered and founded in 2022 by Ghanaian, Joseph Kwame Okyere Darko Bekoe to provide guidance to its members inside and outside of Ghana. We are knowledgeable in providing invaluable insights into the Ghanaian community. We understand the Diaspora’s unique needs and challenges, which is why we are often highly valued to assist anyone looking to make an impact in the Ghanaian diaspora space.

Diaspora Affairs Gh Headquarters is located in Ghana with an international Administrative Office located in the United States.
