On March 25, 2017, the local and diaspora Ghanaian community will converge in Accra for one of the biggest and most prestigious celebrations of Ghanaian achievement in commemoration of Ghana’s 60^th independence celebration.

In its inaugural edition, the Ghana Legacy Honors is the celebration of the unique legacy of Ghana as embodied in the extraordinary achievements of Ghanaians who have made locally or globally reverberate contributions in their fields, all while remaining connected to and rooted in their Ghanaian identity.

The achievement awards will celebrate the pioneers, trailblazers, and leaders who have paved the way for the younger generation and impacted the discourse on Ghana’s image, it’s future and potential.
