Ghana to Global Citizen Festival 2024

In a significant move, Global Citizen’s Move Afrika campaign is set to broaden its reach to West Africa in 2024, with Ghana joining Rwanda as a host nation for an upcoming concert event.

Just over a month after Kendrick Lamar’s headline performance at a Move Afrika event, this expansion marks a crucial collaboration between Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo and PGLang, emphasizing the importance of partnerships in addressing global issues.

The initiative, aligned with Move Afrika’s goal of promoting social justice and equity in Africa, further resonates with Global Citizen’s overarching mission to end extreme poverty worldwide.

The history of the Global Citizen Festival, originating in 2012 in New York, highlights the organization’s commitment to mobilizing people for action in support of ending extreme poverty, now closely tied to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.

The success of the 2022 Global Citizen Festival in Ghana, featuring performances from local and international artists, underscores the potential for impactful cultural exchange and collaboration.

The positive reception and local admiration for the event’s production quality indicate a growing desire for such experiences, with Ghanaians encouraging local organisers to draw inspiration from these global initiatives.

As Move Afrika unfolds, it holds the promise not only of providing memorable entertainment but also of contributing to meaningful social and economic impact in the host countries.

This expansion offers an excellent opportunity for Ghanaians and Rwandans to engage with global issues, celebrating the power of music and advocacy as drivers of positive change.

The Global Citizen Festival is an annual music festival started in 2012 and organized by Global Poverty Project. It was founded by Ryan Gall and Hugh Evans.

The Global Citizen Festival is part of a movement to end extreme poverty.
