NuGhana Expat Center to Launch 'AfroTango Platform' to Support Diasporans in Ghana and Africa

The NuGhana International Expat Center is preparing to launch the "AfroTango Platform," an initiative designed to support individuals of the diaspora in their integration into Ghana and across the African continent. Nana Kofi Opoku-Agyemang, the Executive Director of NuGhana, stated that the platform will serve as a "structured bridge" to help diasporans understand and navigate complex African systems, which often prove challenging after relocating from Western countries.

The AfroTango Platform will offer orientation services, referrals to vetted service providers, and foster a trusted community to facilitate smoother integration for business or relocation purposes. This initiative comes as NuGhana has submitted a proposal to the Ghanaian government for the establishment of a specialized multi-agency Diaspora Protection and Human Capital Task Force.

The AfroTango Platform will provide a structured bridge, offering orientation, vetted service referrals, and a trusted community to help them integrate smoothly for business or relocation.

This proposed task force, submitted to President John Dramani Mahama and shared with key institutions like the Bureau of National Intelligence and the Ministry of the Interior, aims to protect diasporans and foreign nationals from organized fraud and exploitation. Simultaneously, it seeks to harness their expertise, investments, and professional skills for the benefit of the country. Many diasporans face issues such as land disputes and business fraud, highlighting the need for such a protective system.

Nana Dwomoh-Doyen Benjamin, President of the African Chamber of Content Producers, endorsed the proposal, calling it timely and necessary. He believes NuGhana's leadership, drawing from their experience living in Western countries, understands diasporic realities. The proposal's adoption could significantly boost national development by encouraging more diasporans to invest and contribute their skills, while also safeguarding their interests and investments in Ghana.
