The Year of Return, Ghana 2019 is an initiative of the government of Ghana – along with the U.S.-based Adinkra Group – that is intended to encourage African diasporans to come to Africa (specifically Ghana) to settle and invest in the continent. It was formally launched by President Nana Akufo-Addo in September 2018 in Washington, D.C. as a program for Africans in the diaspora to unite with Africans. The year 2019 is symbolic as it commemorates 400 years since the first enslaved Africans touched down in Hampton, in the English colony of Virginia in America. The program also recognizes the diaspora's achievements and sacrifices in the time since that event. Starting from when President Barack Obama made a visit to the Cape Coast in 2009, many famous, respected and admired African-Americans

It was formally launched by President Nana Akufo-Addo in September 2018 in Washington, D.C. as a program for Africans in the diaspora to unite with Africans. The year 2019 is symbolic as it commemorates 400 years since the first enslaved Africans touched down in Hampton, in the English colony of Virginia in America. The program also recognizes the diaspora's achievements and sacrifices in the time since that event. Starting from when President Barack Obama made a visit to the Cape Coast in 2009, many famous, respected and admired African-Americans from the diaspora have visited Ghana to discover its culture. The Ghana Tourism Authority and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture lined up a slate of activities in "celebration of the resilience of the African spirit." Many African Americans shared their stories regarding their experiences in Ghana during the Year of Return.

Ze wil Afrikanen uit de diaspora aanmoedigen terug te keren naar het continent van hun voorouders, om zich er te vestigen en er te investeren. Het jaar 2019 was symbolisch omdat ermee herdacht werd dat 400 jaar eerder in de Amerikaanse kolonie Jamestown (Virginia), de eerste tot slaaf gemaakte Afrikanen aankwamen. Ook werden de prestaties en het leed sinds die tijd herdacht. De Ghanese regering nam het initiatief, samen met de in de Verenigde Staten gevestigde Adinkra Group. Formeel werd het in september 2018 in Washington D.C. gelanceerd door de Ghanese president Nana Akufo-Addo als een programma voor Afrikanen wereldwijd om zich met elkaar te verenigen. In Ghana werden in 2019 allerlei evenementen georganiseerd die in het teken van het Year of Return stonden, waaronder een Kwaku Festival Ghana. (nl)
