The landmark campaign also celebrated the resilience of the African over the past 400 years and welcomed all people of African origin to return to Africa especially Ghana.
Beyond the Return is a 10-year project under the theme, “A decade of African Renaissance – 2020-2030” and will be built on 7 pillars.
It will provide a platform for engagements among the people of African descent, wherever they may currently be living.
