Africa Prosperity Network (APN), organisers of the “Kwahu Summit”, showed up in Washington, DC, to
promote the much-awaited Kwahu Summit.
The event brings Africa’s political and business leaders together to
work on the all-important single market project for the continent.
Organisers of the Africa Prosperity Dialogues, dubbed the Kwahu Summit, interacted with invited African
leaders at the US-Africa Leaders Summit, which took place at the Walter Washington Convention Center from Tuesday 13 to Thursday 15 December, 2022.
The maiden edition of the annual “Kwahu Summit” takes place in Ghana from Thursday 26 to Saturday 28 January, 2023.
It is being organised by APN and its partners, which include the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat, the Presidency of the Republic of Ghana (the host nation of AfCFTA), the United Nations Development Programme (Africa), the Africa Prosperity Fund, the Ghana Investments Promotion
Centre (GIPC), and the Africa-America Institute.
“It was an important platform for us, having all of the leaders in one space with a little over a month to the Kwahu Summit. It was important to reaffirm their commitment to the Africa Prosperity Dialogues. They are
looking forward to this unique opportunity to have our business champions brainstorming with our heads of
state and other decision makers on how to prioritise the single market project for our 1.3 billion people,” said Yofi Grant, the CEO of GIPC and a member of the organising team.
For Dr Nkiru Balonwu, Director of APN, “it was also significant for us to secure the strong interest of the African-American business leadership, as well. As President Akufo-Addo told the gathering of global African business leaders in Washington, Africa’s prosperity must deliberately involve the direct commitments and
contributions from the African diaspora.”
