Allies

MUN Delegate Guide

As Ghana, embrace your Pan-African heritage. Reference Kwame Nkrumah's legacy when pushing for African unity and solidarity. Champion the AfCFTA and intra-African trade as the path to continental prosperity.

Ally with Nigeria, South Africa, and Kenya as fellow African democracies. In the Commonwealth, work with the UK, Canada, and Caribbean states. Advocate for UN Security Council reform to give Africa permanent representation. On debt, push for restructuring frameworks that give developing nations breathing room. Ghana's democratic record gives you moral authority -- use it to advocate for governance and human rights.
