The Accra Diplomatic Club (ADC), a club to assist in the integration of diplomats in Ghana, has been launched at a reception sponsored by Club Gold last week.
Its creation is an initiative of a group of diplomats from missions of various countries, in partnership with accraexpat.com, the website of Ghana’s expatriate community.
This initiative will bring more interaction between the members of the large diplomatic community in Ghana as well as with the diplomats of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, at a time when Ghana and its capital have become a reference.
“The Accra Diplomatic Club will bring to Accra, a Millennium City, a new set of activities and recognition that matches those of major international cities,” the release stated.
Some objectives of the ADC are to provide a privileged meeting venue by which a sense of common professional identity and collegiality may be developed and ties/links between the missions and the diplomats be strengthened; maintain a calendar of regular events to give expression to this sense and to foster social relations; and encourage the sharing and use of the specialized knowledge, experience and background of diplomats posted in Ghana.
The club will propose social and professional events on a regular, irregular and annual basis. It will comprise a Spouses/partners Circle and a Welcome Network. Hosted on accraexpat.com, the club’s website will also propose the following sections: Forum, News, Articles, Opinions and Services.
The Diplomatic Corps in Ghana has an estimated 750 members, plus spouses and partners, from 53 Embassies and High Commissions, over 25 bilateral cooperation agencies and international organizations and 16 Honorary Consulates.
