The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has invited members of the public, academics, researchers, practitioners and other stakeholders to submit articles and opinion pieces for a special edition of the Ghanaian Envoy, the Ministry’s official newsletter, dedicated to Ghana’s Reparatory Justice Agenda.
The special edition will chronicle Ghana’s journey and advocacy in advancing the Reparatory Justice Agenda, highlighting key milestones, initiatives, engagements and perspectives on the country’s efforts to promote justice, recognition and appropriate redress for historical injustices associated with the transatlantic slave trade and colonialism.
In a press release issued on Monday, August 24, 2026, the Ministry said it was seeking contributions from civil society organisations, historians and other interested stakeholders as part of efforts to deepen national and international discourse on reparatory justice.
The Ministry said submissions could draw on contributors’ perspectives, experiences, observations, research and insights relating to Ghana’s Reparatory Justice Agenda.
Contributors have also been encouraged to address the historical context of reparatory justice, advocacy efforts, international engagements, achievements, challenges and possible ways forward.
According to the Ministry, contributions must be brief and concise, while authors are encouraged to submit original and unpublished articles that are clear, well researched and relevant to the publication.
The call comes as Ghana continues to advance discussions on reparatory justice and efforts to seek recognition and redress for historical injustices linked to the transatlantic slave trade and colonialism.
Interested contributors have been asked to submit their articles to the Information and Public Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs via ipab@mfa.gov.gh for consideration and possible publication.
Authors are also required to provide a recent passport-size coloured head-and-shoulders photograph in high-resolution JPEG or PNG format along with their contributions.
The deadline for submissions is September 2, 2026.
The Ministry said it looked forward to receiving “thoughtful and insightful contributions” that would enrich national and international discussions on Ghana’s Reparatory Justice Agenda.
