Our Governance

Honorary Patrons and Advisory Board Members are honorary appointees in the category of Kings, Queens, Heads of State, and Big Donors who support our cause. The administration of the Museum is entrusted to a 30-member International Board of Trustees appointed from various parts of the pan African world – North, South, West, East, Central Africa; North America; the Caribbean; South America. The Board operates under a TRUST DEED registered in Accra, Ghana. The Secretariat of the Museum in Accra is managed by an Executive Council established in accordance with the Trust Laws of Ghana which executes the mandate of the International Board. It is the Executive Council which directly supervises the management and operations of the Museum and its facilities.
