SAVE THE DATE: Sixth Region Diaspora Caucus (SRDC) Pan African Conference, October 6-9, 2026, University of Ghana
The 2026 Pan African Conference of the Sixth Region Diaspora Caucus (SRDC) will be held October 6-9, 2026 at the African Studies Department, University of Ghana, the country’s oldest and largest public university located in Legon, Accra. The University was founded in 1948 and “is a premier higher education institution in West Africa, renowned for its vibrant campus, expansive libraries, and comprehensive research programs” (Wikipedia).
The Sixth Region Diaspora Caucus (SRDC), founded in Los Angeles, California in April 2006, has been working to organize the Pan African Diaspora through Community Town Hall Meetings to establish the voice of our grassroots communities, and has also advocated for the inclusion of the Diaspora’s voice in the African Union (AU) and other global organizations that seek to connect with the world’s African Ascendant Civil Society. Based primarily in the United States, the organization nonetheless has established chapters in Panama, Liberia and Tanzania, and has made alliances with Pan African organizations in Africa, the Caribbean, Central America, South America and Europe.
The theme for the 2026 Conference is Building the Future for True Pan Africanism through Repatriation, Integration, Youth Empowerment, Citizenship and sustainable Direct Investment. Global African and African-Ascendant activists from Africa, the United States, Central America, the Caribbean and Europe have been invited to participate as panelists and presenters, including University of Ghana professors and officials of the African Union’s Economic, Social and Cultural Council (ECOSOCC), Citizens Directorate (CIDO) and Pan African Parliament (PAP).
Scheduled panels will discuss the Diaspora’s continuing efforts to gain civil society representation in the African Union ECOSOCC, questions around Dual Citizenship, Repatriation and the Right to Return to the Motherland, investment opportunities and challenges, and how African Diasporans can better connect with our Sisters and Brothers on the Continent. An important objective will be the engagement and empowerment of youth as the ones who will carry this work long after the current generation of African Diasporan activists have retired or passed on to the Honored Ancestors.
