About Year of ReturnIt has been exactly 400 years since the first black slaves landed in Jamestown Virginia in the US. Ghana initiated the Year of Return to invite all diasporans back home to not only learn more but explore and even invest in the country.Since this initiative began many African Americans have made their way into the country to learn more about their history.The Tourism Ministry outlined numerous activities including the ‘December in Ghana’ events to bring the Year of Return to a fruitful end.The programme includes Afro Nation, Afrochella, Gold Coast Experience, Full Circle festival, Ghana Festival of Light and many others.The Way Forward

Government is hoping to launch an initiative that would take over the Year of Return.

The initiative dubbed ‘Beyond The Year of Return - a Birthright’ was announced by the president at his December 2019 media encounter.

The government intends to implement a campaign-oriented project, “Beyond the Year of Return – a Birthright,” over a ten-year-period to continuously carry out activities to sustain the Diaspora relationship and build on the positive impact of the initiative.

The campaign is on the theme: “A decade of African Restoration 2020-2030”
