In 2019, Africa was the leading destination for Ghanaian emigrants, representing 49.3 percent of the total emigrant stock from Ghana. Europe (29.2 percent) and North America (20.4 percent) were the other ranking regions where people emigrating from Ghana went to. This had been the pattern since 2010. Moreover, according to the source, the significant number of emigrants from Ghana residing in Africa, particularly Western Africa, reflects the history of mobility of Ghanaians within the sub-region, possibly facilitated by the ECOWAS Free Movement Protocol. Overall, the number of Ghanaians who had emigrated reached an approximate total of 970.63 thousand as of 2019.
