The management of Joy Entertainment is already putting measures in place to ensure international standard media coverage of the event that focuses on driving commitments towards defeating extreme poverty NOW.
Performing for the first time in Ghana is RnB legend Usher Raymond, singer/songwriter SZA, H.E.R and Nigeria’s Tems.

Reacting to the news, President Nana Afuko-Addo noted that “Ghana is honoured to host this year’s edition of the Global Citizen Festival. I look forward to welcoming each and every one of you to Accra, the capital of the country at the centre of the world.”
“Together, let us join hands and help accelerate progress towards the realisation of the SDGs,” he continued, referring to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (a.k.a Global Goals) to end extreme poverty and its systemic causes.
“We owe it to the next generation to live in a world free from poverty, disease, and the degradation of the environment.”
