The Governments of Ghana and The Bahamas have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to facilitate the recruitment of Ghanaian teachers and nurses for employment opportunities in the Caribbean nation.
The agreement, described as a landmark in bilateral relations, was signed at a brief ceremony led by Ghana’s Minister of Special Initiative, Emmanuel Agyekum, with support from Mr. Nelson Ndebah Ndebugre from the Office of the President. The delegation also held a meeting with Philip Edward “Brave” Davis, Prime Minister of The Bahamas, to reaffirm both countries’ commitment to deepening cooperation.
The communiqué noted that the historic agreement is a new milestone of bilateral cooperation and labour mobility between the two nations, adding that it further solidifies Ghana’s growing leadership in exporting expertise and bears testament to the faith that the international community continues to place in the skills and professionalism of Ghanaians.
“At the heart of this MoU is a shared vision aimed at improving cooperation and relations between Ghana and The Bahamas through people-centered development and mutually beneficial cooperation.
“As part of the initial phase of this collaboration, the recruitment of experienced Ghanaian teachers
and nurses to serve in The Bahamas have commenced.
“This initiative proves that the trust that our international partners have in the quality of Ghanaian educators and healthcare workers, who have consistently demonstrated excellence, discipline, and dedication in shaping minds and healing the nations.”
Under the initial phase of the collaboration, experienced Ghanaian teachers and nurses will be recruited to serve in The Bahamas. The initiative, according to the minister, is a reflection of the confidence that international partners have in the competence, discipline, and dedication of Ghanaian professionals.
It added that the programme is “only the beginning,” noting that the broader agreement provides a framework for future cooperation in commerce, culture, tourism, and human capital exchange.
“This initiative is a win-win for both countries. It opens new pathways for Ghana’s skilled professionals to share expertise and gain global exposure while earning decent livelihoods. For The Bahamas, it ensures access to competent teachers and nurses whose professionalism will enhance their education and health sectors.”
It further assured stakeholders that the welfare and fair treatment of Ghanaian recruits will remain a top priority, adding that recruitment processes will be transparent and the rights and safety of participants fully safeguarded.
“Though the conditions of the MoU remain confidential as part of diplomatic protocol, I would like
to point out that its spirit and purpose are rooted in cooperation, respect, and shared prosperity.”
