Diaspora Investment Desk
This desk looks to convert the gains made from the ‘Year of Return’ initiative into viable businesses and opportunity. Through the Diaspora Investment Desk, the GIPC will engage the diaspora community to attract necessary investment and capital to drive economic development and the Ghana Beyond Aid initiative.
The Diaspora Investment Desk will therefore provide a central point for the co-ordination of investments, programs and activities between the diaspora community and Ghana, with a view to harness the global Ghanaian resource potential as well as pep up the GIPC’s objective of increasing Diaspora Direct Investment (DDI).
