Vice President of Costa Rica, H.E Epsy Alejandra Campbell Barr, and Executive Director of the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), Dr. Natalia Kanem will both be honored by Grow Unite Build Africa (GUBA), with the ‘Nana Yaa Asantewaa’ Excellence Award for their contributions towards the need for women to be recognized at all levels.
The two high-profile dignitaries will arrive in Ghana with a high-level delegation on Tuesday, April 19, 2022, for a working tour of the country, and are expected to receive the awards at a High-Level Diasporan Business Forum at the Kempinski Hotel Gold Coast City-Accra on Friday, April 22, 2022.
The forum will be attended by Vice President, H.E Alhaji Mahammadu Bawumia and other government officials and businessmen.
“The two leaders were not able to attend the awards ceremony which was held in Accra on November 8, 2021, in person, though they participated virtually. Being present in Ghana at this time is a great opportunity to recognize the two” GUBA Enterprise’s President and CEO, Dentaa Amoateng MBE, said.
“H.E Barr and Dr. Kanem believe that the awards which celebrate the role of women and how courageous and resilience they have been especially in the pandemic and in the last century, resonate with the event’s theme, “Celebrating a Symbol of Courage and Resilience”, Dentaa added.
