Africans in diaspora - London Expo 2014

What is London Expo 2014?

This event will encourage skilled Africans in the diaspora to return home. With a focus on South Africa, Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda and Kenya, the expo will:
 ◦showcase jobs, property, schools, products, services, investments and entrepreneurial opportunities in Sub-Saharan Africa
 ◦provide help, advice and information on making the move home and settling in
 
Why?

Sub-Saharan Africa is poised for take off, requiring strong leadership, top skills and job creation. Skilled Africans bring home not only a superb range of international expertise, global relationships and local knowledge, but a strong sense of purpose and willingness to give back too. This is a very powerful combination.
