How do we move diaspora engagement from talk to transformative, coordinated action—so it strengthens Ghana’s economy, agriculture, education, and global relationships?
In this powerful panel moment, Ɔbenfo (Professor) Ọbádélé Bakari Kambon breaks down the vision and practical roadmap behind Decade of Our Repatriation (D.O.O.R.) — 2026–2036: a “Year of Return × 10” strategy focused on shifting from brain drain to brain gain, building real partnerships, and creating vetted pathways to relocate, invest, and build long-term. Transcript:
