Ghanaian nurses and teachers will soon be able to take up employment opportunities in Jamaica following a new bilateral agreement between the governments of Ghana and Jamaica.
The arrangement was announced by Ghana's Minister for Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, after holding talks with his Jamaican counterpart, Senator Kamina Johnson Smith, on the sidelines of the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) summit in Brussels.
Describing the meeting as "immensely successful," Mr Ablakwa said Jamaica has agreed to receive qualified Ghanaian nurses and teachers under a "special bilateral partnership." "This new arrangement creates real opportunities for our professionals who are ready to work abroad," he stated in a Facebook post on Saturday, May 24, 2025.
The agreement is part of a broader effort to strengthen ties between the two countries and will also see increased collaboration in areas such as trade, education, agriculture, tourism, culture, and sports.
