He further added the Ghanaian diaspora community needs to take advantage of the opportunities presented by the AfCFTA, by harnessing the trade and investment engagements within the country. “Efforts to attract the diaspora could focus on three key economic areas: investments, knowledge and skills and trade facilitation. In terms of investments, mechanisms could be put in place to tap the diaspora as preferred foreign direct investors in continental development projects,” he said. Mr Mene pointed AfCFTA agreement also paves way for the diaspora to invest and rope in revenue to develop their country. There is now increased and diversified opportunities to promote trade and foreign direct investment, create businesses and spur entrepreneurship, transferring new knowledge and skills within the AfCFTA market,” he said.
