  • MEMPHIS in MAY INTERNATIONAL TOUR March 11-19, 2020
    MEMPHIS IN MAY INTERNATIONAL TOUR March 11-19, 2020 PRESIDENT & BOARD CHAIR Perched on the edge of West Africa, the peaceful, bustling nation of Ghana serves as the perfect gateway to the continent. Celebrated for its rich history—its habitation possibly dating from 10,000 BCE—and as a fascinating repository of cultural heritage, Ghana takes its name from the great medieval trading empire meaning “Warrior King.” Early Ghana became a trade destination for many European countries and was known throughout a large part of its history as the Gold Coast due to its rich mineral wealth. Today it is hailed as the golden country of West Africa. The first sub-Saharan African country to gain independence from colonial rule in 1957, Ghana’s ethnic diversity, safety and friendly locals make it a must-visit for any traveler wanting to experience West African culture. Join us as we celebrate the 44th annual Memphis in May International Festival and learn about the incredible cultures, cuisines, customs and commerce of the Republic of Ghana. James L. Holt - President & CEO Charles Ewing - 2020 Board Chair ACCRA You will begin and end your 8-day and 7-night tour of Ghana in the city of Accra. With a reputation as one of the safest capital cities in West Africa, Accra is a bustling metropolis with no shortage of things to do. Known as much for its traditional culture as it is for its music scene, restaurants and nightclubs, top attractions include historic Jamestown and Independence Square as well as Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park and Mausoleum, a site dedicated to the Ghanaian politician and revolutionary who led the country to independence.

  • Explore Nature, History, and Culture in Accra, Cape Coast, Kumasi and Akosombo
    Ghana Explore nature, history, and culture in Accra, Cape Coast, Kumasi and Akosombo Lawrence University Alumni Travel February 29 – March 12, 2020 1 HISTORY, NATURE, and CULTURE Ghana has the distinction of being the first African country to become an independent, sovereign state in the 20th century. Formerly known as the “Gold Coast”, Ghana led the world in cocoa production as part of the British Empire; now it has one of the fastest growing economies in all of Africa. Ghana is also a political leader and is perhaps the most stable, democratic country in Africa. Located in West Africa, Ghana is known for its rich cultural traditions and artistic endeavors. In this Alumni tour, our group will sample the best that Ghana has to offer: examining the political history of the country since independence, partaking in the vibrant arts, theatre, and dance scene in Accra, the capital city, exploring the legacy of slavery at the Cape Coast castle, and learning about traditional Ghanaian culture in Kumasi, the center of the Ashanti empire. Visitors to Ghana also quickly encounter its natural beauty -- sea coasts, sandy beaches, tropical rainforests, and mountain waterfalls. On this tour, you can take a treetop hike at the top of the rainforest, climb to the country’s highest peak, or stroll through a botanical paradise at your own speed. Our group will be limited to no more than 20, giving us an intimate look at the culture from the inside, aided by the numerous LU alums who live in the country. I look forward to you joining me in Ghana.

It focused heavily on poverty reduction programmes and projects. The emphasis in the growth and poverty reduction strategy is on growth inducing policies and programmes that have the potential of supporting wealth creation for sustainable poverty reduction. The policy framework is therefore anchored on maintaining the macroeconomic stability and on pursuing accelerated private sector led growth, vigorous human resource development, good governance and civic responsibility. All Government agencies at the sector, Regional and District levels that are task with the responsibility of implementing these programmes and projects are expected to demonstrate, through evidence based information, that these interventions are having the desired effects in terms of positively transforming the lives of all beneficiaries.
