His Royal Highness Prince Edward, The Duke of Edinburgh, has arrived in Ghana for a two-day visit aimed at reinforcing the partnership between the United Kingdom and Ghana. The visit highlights collaboration in climate-smart development, education, innovation, inclusive sports, and Commonwealth cooperation.
During his visit, The Duke is expected to travel to Aburi, where he will visit the Presbyterian Women’s College of Education to observe play-based early childhood teaching programmes supported by Sabre Education and the UK government. His Royal Highness will also tour the Aburi Botanical Gardens, meet cocoa sector entrepreneurs promoting sustainable trade and inclusive growth, and plant a tree as a symbolic commitment to environmental sustainability.
In Accra, The Duke will meet participants of the Commonwealth Startup Fellowship Programme, engage with Ghanaian Paralympic and sports associations ahead of the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, and attend a UK-Ghana theatre and creative arts event featuring a performance of The Black Star – Teacher of Africa.
He is also scheduled to meet President John Mahama and attend a durbar with the National House of Chiefs, as well as pay respects at the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park.
British High Commissioner Christian Rogg said the visit “celebrates the strong relationship between the UK and Ghana and recognises collaboration in education, climate action, and innovation.”
This is The Duke’s third visit to Ghana, following trips in 2016 and 2018. He is patron of the Duke of Edinburgh International Award, a youth development programme active in more than 130 countries, helping young people build confidence and life skills.
