ROLE AND CONTRIBUTION OF GHANAIAN DIASPORAS IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF GHANA

There was a time when outward migrations was considered as a negative phenomenon or lose of human resources for a country. It was also seen as traumatic experience for the ones who were forced to migrate due to some socio-political or historical crises. However, with the passing of time, globalization has created very complex inter connections across the world today. People move across borders not because of compulsion but free will and desire for better life opportunities. Such large number of migration has created modern day diaspora and the international community has profoundly acknowledged their remarkable role and contribution in the process of development of their homeland. Ghana is one such example.
