KOD champions Africa-diaspora unity at maiden global summit
Ghanaian media personality and Director of Diaspora Affairs at the Office of the President, Kofi Okyere Darko (KOD), has represented Ghana at the maiden Global Africa Summit held in Washington, D.C., where he shared Ghana’s vision for fostering deeper collaboration between Africa and its global diaspora.
Speaking under the theme “Global Partnerships: Fueling Africa’s Development and Collective Prosperity,” KOD delivered a powerful message on unity, empowerment and the shared responsibility of Africans at home and abroad to build a stronger, self-sustaining continent.
“In my address, I spoke about our collective journey from separation to strength, from remembrance to rebuilding, and how shared prosperity must now be our rallying call,” KOD said in a post.
As Director of Diaspora Affairs, he reaffirmed his commitment to strengthening bridges that connect Africans worldwide through policy, trade, innovation and culture.
He emphasised that the future Africa envisions will not be handed to us; it will be built by us, together.
The summit brought together leaders, policymakers and creatives from across Africa and the diaspora, sparking vital conversations around collaboration, investment and Pan-African progress.
