Partnerships: The Caribbean Global Awards brand also works in partnership with the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), chaired by the Honourable Dr Abike Dabiri-Erewa OON, in support of stronger Africa-Caribbean diaspora engagement.

Africa Regional Launch Programme 2026: The CACC regional launch programme will commence in Ghana from 10 to 17 October 2026, followed by Nigeria from 30 November to 5 December 2026.

· digital health, artificial intelligence and responsible technology adoption
· cancer care, public health and health inequalities
· research collaboration, innovation pathways and locally relevant solutions
· diaspora-led investment and partnerships that strengthen health-system resilience
Built on reciprocal learning, programmes will be shaped with local leaders and institutions to address identified priorities, build capability and produce sustainable benefits.
A Governance Led Gateway: CACC brings commerce, professional knowledge, diaspora networks and cultural understanding into one accountable platform. Partners will work through transparent processes, defined responsibilities and outcome-focused collaborations.
