Ghanaian media personality, entrepreneur, and fashion icon Kofi Okyere Darko, widely known as KOD, has been appointed as the Director of Diaspora Affairs at the Presidency.
KOD will take over from Akwasi Awua Ababio as the Director of Diaspora Affairs at the Office of the President.
The Diaspora Affairs Office was established in February 2017 to strengthen ties with Ghanaians living abroad and harness their contributions to national development.
The office is tasked with promoting the interests of the diaspora, exploring ways they can contribute to Ghana’s socio-economic growth, and raising awareness about the challenges of irregular migration.
The office works in partnership with state institutions, Ghanaian associations abroad, international organizations, and NGOs to foster collaboration and support the diaspora’s role in national development.
In his new role, KOD is expected to leverage his extensive network, creativity, and passion for African culture to strengthen connections with the diaspora community.
