Accra – Ghana and Grenada have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to allow Ghanaian nurses to work in Grenada, strengthening cooperation in the health sector. The agreement was signed on Friday, 17 October 2025, during a bilateral meeting between President John Dramani Mahama and Grenadian Prime Minister Dickon Mitchell, who is on an official visit to Ghana.
The MoU was signed by Ghana’s Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa and his Grenadian counterpart Joseph Andall. Discussions also covered trade, education, visa waivers, and labour mobility, with both countries exploring additional areas for mutual cooperation.
President Mahama, serving as the African Union Champion for Reparations, welcomed Prime Minister Mitchell, noting the shared historical and cultural ties between Ghana and Grenada. Prime Minister Mitchell revealed that DNA tracing confirmed his Ghanaian ancestry, and studies show that 75 percent of Grenadians have ancestral links to Ghana.
Negotiations are ongoing for 20 more labour mobility agreements with other countries, and strategic talks are underway to establish the first direct flight between Africa and the Caribbean.
Both Ghana and Grenada are governed by the National Democratic Congress, which secured two-thirds majorities in their most recent parliamentary elections, returning to power after losing two previous terms.
