The Board of Directors of the Fédération Internationale des Corps et Associations Consulaires (FICAC) also known as the World Federation of Consuls, on the proposal of the President, Mr. Nikolaos K. Margaropoulos, appointed Hon. Kwame Acquah as one of the four directors elected on November 22, 2022.
Honored. Nikolaos K. Margaropoulos strived for his current Board to ensure comprehensive representation of Honorary Consuls from all regions of Africa, Asia and South America. His policy seeks to engage diverse talent, develop inclusive leadership, fostering an innovative, bold and equitable FICAC culture.
Honored. Kwame Acquah said: “I feel very privileged to take on this role at such an exciting time for our Association. The needs of FICAC and the stakeholders with whom we often interact are evolving rapidly. FICAC is addressing this evolution in thoughtful and innovative ways that will benefit all FICAC stakeholders for years to come,” said Hon Kwame Acquah.
Honored. Kwame Acquah has served as the Honorary Consul of Seychelles in the Republic of Ghana for many years and was recently re-elected as the Executive Secretary of the Honorary Consular Corps of Ghana (HCCGH). The aim of the HCCGH has been to create, on a local basis, an exemplary consular network that connects, connects and unites all consulars in Ghana together. Our goal is not only to share experiences, but also to coordinate local efforts to consolidate and expand their rights, responsibilities, credibility, status, security, duties and obligations. The objectives of the HCCGH are to deal with matters affecting diplomatic, consular and international network organizations in Ghana; to provide means and opportunities for mutual acquaintance, friendship and social relations among all members; and enable them (inter-alias) to provide a platform for effective communication with each other and the Ghanaian administration.
He joins an astute group of diplomats who form part of the current HCCGH Executive Team, namely; Honored. Dimitri Avraam (Honorary Consul of Belgium), Hon. Subhi Accad (Honorary Consul of Mexico), Hon. Felix Gomis (Honorary Consul of Cabo Verde), Hon. Hilton John Mitchel (Honorary Consul of Trinidad & Tobago), Hon. Ashok Mohinani (Honorary Consul of Uruguay), Hon. Isaac Osei Bonsu (Honorary Consul of Jamaica), Hon. Antonio Fernandes (Honorary Consul of Portugal) and Hon. S. Janbek Kaptan (Honorary Consul of Jordan).
As the Executive Secretary of HCCGH, Hon. Kwame Acquah uses his wide range of experience and expertise to particularly benefit the diplomatic community in Ghana. It is a vital resource that is often used effectively in the organization of the administrative tasks of the KLSHQ, in the advancement of economic, social and cultural development, both at the local, regional and international levels. To date, he has organized and participated in social impact initiatives such as donating PPE and supporting the front lines during the COVID-19 pandemic, tree planting exercises in urban Ghana and prepared a press campaign that emphasized the presence of several Honorary Consuls in the country. Future community projects include the advancement of basic education, road safety campaigns and clean water supply initiatives.
Prior to his role, he led RDFC Holdings (an accomplished Ghanaian Management Consultancy) to become one of the most successful oil and gas market entry organizations in West Africa. He holds a Financial Times Non-Executive Director degree from the UK, an MA in Marketing Management from Middlesex University and a BSc in Business Studies with a major in Marketing.
“Kwame’s long history of leadership, along with his experience in advising global clients makes him an ideal person for this role. I look forward to working closely with Kwame to continue to ensure that FICAC has a positive impact on all stakeholders, including government delegates, our people and society,” said Hon. Dimitri Avraam, Honorary Consul of Belgium in the Republic of Ghana and Dean of HCCGH.
In his new role at FICAC, he will continue to focus FICAC’s primary focus on making an impact that matters in the communities in which it operates. This leadership appointment is part of a rigorous and comprehensive Board member nomination and ratification process that occurs every three years and includes all FICAC Board members.
