GDAAR Foundation champions diaspora engagement in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), focusing on education, economic growth, and community development. Join us at the SDGs Action Summit 2024 and be part of the global movement for a better future.
The SDGs Action Summit 2024 serves as a crucial platform for global collaboration and accelerated progress towards a more sustainable and equitable world. As a leading advocate for the African diaspora, GDAAR Foundation recognizes the immense potential that diasporans hold in contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We are committed to empowering this community to become agents of change, leveraging their skills, knowledge, and resources to create lasting impact in Ghana and beyond.
GDAAR’s SDG Focus: Education, Economic Growth, and Community Development
GDAAR Foundation’s work aligns with several key SDGs, directly addressing critical issues facing Ghana:
- Quality Education (SDG 4): We provide scholarships, mentorship programs, and educational resources to empower Ghanaians, both at home and abroad, to pursue their academic dreams.
- Decent Work and Economic Growth (SDG 8): We facilitate business development and investment opportunities for diasporans in Ghana, contributing to economic growth and job creation.
- Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10): We advocate for inclusive policies and programs that address the needs of marginalized communities, including women, youth, and rural populations.
- Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11): We support sustainable urban development and community-led initiatives that improve infrastructure and quality of life.
Supporting Diaspora Engagement:
We believe that the diaspora is a powerful force for good. Through our programs and initiatives, we aim to:
- Facilitate smooth transitions: Our Visa on Arrival program simplifies the process for diasporans returning to Ghana, enabling them to focus on contributing their skills and expertise.
- Foster cultural exchange and integration: We provide resources and support to help diasporans reconnect with their roots and build meaningful lives in Ghana.
- Promote economic empowerment: We offer training, mentorship, and networking opportunities to help diasporans launch and grow successful businesses in Ghana.
