Mr. Edward Moukala, United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organisation representative to Ghana, has urged Africa's diasporan community to harness transformational business opportunities on the continent.?

The UNESCO representative was speaking at the launch of the second cohort of Entrepreneurship with Bola Ray.? 'I want to appeal to the diasporan community to see the transformational projects that are currently occurring on the continent, including the AfCFTA. I want to invite the diasporan community to the continent to come and explore business opportunities that would engineer economic growth. I am appealing to the diasporan community that the Africa they knew the past is not the Africa now. ' he said.? Entrepreneurship with Bola Ray is ground-breaking initiative which aims to nurture and empower t he next generation of Ghanaian entrepreneurs.? The second cohort comprises 15 entrepreneurs with various businesses in many sectors, notably food processing, poultry, technology, and agro-processing.
