Senior Presidential Advisor to President John Dramani Mahama, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, has urged Ghanaian women in the diaspora to move beyond remittances and investments and focus on building enterprises that can generate sustainable generational wealth.
In a Facebook post, she said the call formed part of her participation in the EVE Women’s Forum USA, where she spoke on the theme, “Legacy and Longevity: Women Building Wealth and Health Across the Diaspora.”
Mrs Bawah Mogtari reflected on Ghana’s progress in women’s leadership, including the historic election of the country’s first female Vice President, and stressed the need to translate such progress into lasting economic empowerment.
She called on Ghanaian women abroad to contribute more than financial capital to the country, urging them to leverage their knowledge, expertise, networks and global connections to support national development.
According to her, the focus should be on creating businesses and institutions capable of generating value and wealth that can be transferred across generations.
“Let us move from remittances to investment, from investment to enterprise, and from enterprise to generational wealth,” she said.
Mrs Bawah Mogtari added that the next generation should inherit not only the struggles of their predecessors but also “our businesses, institutions, investments and legacy.”
She described the forum as a powerful reminder of the importance of building a lasting legacy and ensuring that women’s economic progress translates into opportunities for future generations.
