Summary: 

The Diaspora Support Unit within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration of Ghana hosts and maintains a diaspora website which serves as a platform for facilitating the engagement of the country’s emigrants in sustainable development by the Government of Ghana. It aims at strengthening the engagement and relationship of the Ghanaian State with its citizens and persons of Ghanaian heritage abroad, and mobilizing the country’s diaspora toward its socio-economic development through dialogue and subsequent developmental engagements in Ghana.  It provides vital information such as labour market openings, exemptions on the import of goods by returning migrants, and opportunities for migrant investments.
