This loss of human talent and skills – the “brain drain” – is arguably one of Africa’s key developmental challenges.

Key Points: 
  • This loss of human talent and skills – the “brain drain” – is arguably one of Africa’s key developmental challenges.
  • That is “brain gain” – the return migration of professionals – and “brain circulation” – temporary migration of professionals between countries.
  • This is the gap we sought to fill, using a case study of the late Ghanaian fashion designer, Kofi Ansah.
  • Ansah’s impact on Ghanaian fashion was immense because of the timing and context of his return in 1992.

Transforming Ghana’s fashion industry

    • For the Kofi Ansah case study we interviewed 31 Ghanaian fashion designers whose career journeys had been directly and indirectly influenced by him.
    • After completing his secondary education, Kofi enrolled in the Chelsea School of Art in the United Kingdom to study fashion design.
    • He made his first fashion headline after he designed a beaded dress for Princess Anne.
    • Ansah transformed Ghana’s fashion industry in four areas:
    • Another project spearheaded by Ansah was the Ethical Fashion Initiative, a partnership between the United Nations and the Presidential Special Initiative programme.
    • Such travel was geared towards acquiring knowledge that would have an impact on Ghana’s fashion industry.

Ansah’s impact

    • Steve French and other young designers are recognised for their creative works and talents.
    • Garments made by Ghanaian designers like Duaba Serwaa and Christie Brown are worn by stars such as Lupita Nyongo and Beyonce respectively.
    • The current status of Ghana’s fashion industry is largely due to the efforts of Kofi Ansah.
