Our Social Mission
At FOREIGN AFRICA, our social mission is to empower African voices—especially youth and emerging leaders—to meaningfully shape global discourse through locally grounded, research-informed solutions. We tackle real-world challenges such as governance, migration, and climate vulnerability by creating civic dialogue platforms, educating students on diplomacy, and supporting youth in policy development. For example, through initiatives like the Ghana Governance Dialogue and Youth Policy Labs, we bring communities together to co-create policy ideas, promote civic education in schools, and support students with tailored research mentorship. Our goal is simple but powerful: to turn knowledge into action that elevates Africa’s global influence while solving local problems.
Our Social Mission Projects
Youth and Migration Awareness Project
This project tackles irregular migration by providing young Ghanaians with accurate, research-backed information about migration pathways and risks. It also confronts the root causes of migration—such as unemployment and lack of opportunity—by promoting youth entrepreneurship, vocational training, and advocacy campaigns that highlight local solutions.
Climate Resilience Action Forum
This project engages rural communities, especially in northern Ghana, in participatory dialogue about climate-related threats to agriculture and food security. The forum produces community-led policy recommendations, strengthens traditional knowledge systems, and promotes climate-smart agricultural practices to improve resilience and sustainability.
Foreign Policy Literacy in Schools Campaign
A strategic educational outreach program that introduces senior high school students to international relations, global governance, and diplomacy. Through interactive workshops and curriculum support, the campaign connects classroom learning with real-world international affairs and national development priorities.
Accountability Watch Ghana
A flagship transparency project focused on monitoring local government budgets, donor-funded development projects, and aid disbursements. The initiative trains community volunteers to track spending, document project outcomes, and engage public officials in dialogue—enhancing transparency, accountability, and trust in governance systems.
