Our Social Mission Projects
Foreign Africa Entrepreneurship Programme (FAEP)
The Foreign Africa Entrepreneurship Programme supports young African entrepreneurs through training, mentorship, and research-driven insights to strengthen enterprise development, innovation, and sustainable job creation.
Diaspora Investment Accelerator
A policy research and advocacy initiative designed to channel diaspora remittances into scalable, impact-driven African businesses, supported by diaspora-friendly policy reforms.
Municipal Diplomacy Programme (MDP)
The Municipal Diplomacy Programme strengthens the international engagement of African cities by supporting local governments with research, partnerships, and policy tools to advance sustainable development and global cooperation.
African Trade and Job Tracker
A research-driven platform monitoring how trade agreements, foreign direct investment, and aid commitments translate into measurable employment and entrepreneurship opportunities in Africa.
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.
