  • India-Ghana Relations
    India-Ghana Relations Political relations: Indo-Ghanaian relations have traditionally been warm and friendly. The strong foundation of our bilateral relations was laid by India’s first Prime Minister, Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, and Ghana’s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. The two great leaders also enjoyed a close friendship. Major visits from Ghana in the past include the visit of President Nkrumah in 1961 and President Limann in 1981. President Rawlings made a stopover in Mumbai on his way from Beijing in 1993, and again visited India in 1997 to attend the funeral ceremony of Late Mother Teresa. In addition, there were several Ministerial visits, including that of the Foreign Minister for the NAM Ministerial Conference in April 1986. President Kufuor, accompanied by a high level delegation visited India in August 2002. Four bilateral agreements were signed including one which relates to the setting up of a Centre of Excellence for Training in Information Technology in Accra (which became operational in December 2003); and Bilateral Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (BIPPA); Protocol on Consultations between MEA and Ghana’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and a Cultural and Scientific Exchange Programme. The Vice President of Ghana H.E. Alhaji Aliu Mahama, led a large Ghanaian delegation to the CII conclave held in New Delhi in March 2008. In April 2008, President Kufuor visited India to participate in India-Africa Forum Summit held in New Delhi. Vice President John Dramani Mahama accompanied by Minister of Trade & Industry Ms. Hanna Tetteh visited India to participate in the CII-Exim Bank Conclave in March 2010.

  • 1 Africa Leadership Initiative/West Africa the Great Values Seminar
    Africa Leadership Initiative/West Africa The Great Values Seminar Abuja, Nigeria November 29-December 3, 2006 Executive Summary : The Africa Leadership Initiative/West Africa was launched in 2006 as a joint venture of the Aspen Institute, LEAP Africa (Nigeria), Databank Foundation (Ghana), and TechnoServe and was made possible with support from the Ford Foundation (Nigeria), an anonymous U.S. donor, the UniCredit Foundation (Italy), the Databank Foundation (Ghana) and TechnoServe/Ghana. It is also a member of the Aspen Global Leadership Network which seeks to develop the next generation of values-based leaders around the world. Inspired by the Henry Crown Fellowship Program of the Aspen Institute, ALI/West Africa is designed to build linkages between—and to promote open dialogue among—leaders from Ghana and Nigeria on the makings of a “good society” in West Africa. The program provides the tools and perspectives necessary for effective, enlightened leadership in business, government, and not-for-profit sectors—that is, in society-at-large. It also seeks to spur Fellows “from thought to action” by asking them to carry out individual leadership projects of their own design. The West Africa class, comprised of 24 highly accomplished Nigerian and Ghanaian Fellows between the ages of 30 and 49, met for the second time, from November 29-December 3, 2006, in Abuja, the political capital of Nigeria. Their first meeting was in May 2006 for a seminar entitled “ The Challenge of Leadership ,” in which they explored what effective leaders do and do not do . In their second meeting, the “ Great Values Seminar,” moderated by Aspen Senior Moderators Keith Berwick and Peter Reiling, the Fellows were prompted to consider those societal values they deem most important, and the trade-offs they are willing to make in seeking a good and just society.
