The President of the Republic of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo, and the President of the Brazil Africa Institute, Professor João Bosco Monte, had a meeting this Friday (1) at the Jubilee House, in Accra, to discuss some of the actions IBRAF is planing to develop in Ghana.

Brazil Africa Institute opened its first headquarters in Accra last March and is committed to foster sinergies between Brazil and Ghana. One of the objectives is to open opportunities for the Ghanaian youth. IBRAF’s President presented to President Akufo-Addo the capacity building project of the youth in the Kente industry.

The Kente is the traditional Ghanaian fabric, an international symbol of the country. The objective is to train young people to manage the industry and adapt it to technology. “This project will be implemented in collaboration with International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the Ministry of Trade and Industry of the Republic of Ghana” explained Professor Monte.
