The Caribbean Africa Chamber of Commerce (CACC), operating under the Caribbean Global Awards brand, today announced the expansion of its governance-led platform connecting African nations, the Caribbean and the global diaspora. Its 2026 regional launch programme will begin in Ghana from 10 to 17 October and continue in Nigeria from 30 November to 5 December, alongside a new Health Knowledge Exchange linking North America, the Caribbean and Africa.
CACC has been established to convert longstanding cultural and diaspora connections into practical economic, institutional and social outcomes. Its work will support market access, investment readiness, trusted introductions, knowledge exchange and the development of sustainable cross-regional projects.
Credibility: CACC operates under the established Caribbean Global Awards brand and has received the endorsement of Ghana's Diaspora Affairs Office. This foundation strengthens the Chamber's credibility as a diaspora gateway while preserving a clear commitment to governance, due diligence, transparency and responsible engagement.
Unity: The CACC will unite public institutions, private enterprises, professional bodies and community leaders within a trusted platform. CACC will help organisations navigate and enter new markets, connect with credible decision-makers, establish investment-ready partnerships and transform shared opportunities into sustainable projects that deliver measurable economic and social impact across Africa, the Caribbean and the global diaspora.
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.
CACC's partnership with Air Peace provides valuable transatlantic connectivity, creating stronger pathways for travel, trade, investment and diaspora engagement.
The Caribbean Media Corporation and it's pan- Caribbean television channel, CaribVision supports the Caribbean Global Awards vision to amplify voices, celebrate and promote 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. These launches establish Ghana and Nigeria as important gateways within a wider Africa-Caribbean strategy that is designed to include and engage nations across the African continent.
Each programme will bring together entrepreneurs, investors, healthcare leaders, innovators, institutions and diaspora professionals for structured business engagement, market insight, cultural connection and partnership development. Activities will include official CACC launch events, business networking, sector discussions and opportunities to connect participants with local enterprise, institutions and investment ecosystems.
Health Knowledge Exchange: Health will be a flagship pillar of the Chamber's work. The CACC Health Knowledge Exchange will create a trusted bridge among health systems, universities, professional bodies, innovators and diaspora experts across North America, the Caribbean and Africa. It will move beyond ceremonial dialogue by supporting practical exchange in:
· workforce development, clinical leadership and education, mentoring and specialist skills transfer
· 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. This model is designed to protect trust, reduce avoidable risk and strengthen the prospects of long-term delivery.

Here’s why going for the sustainable option is the natural choice for self-care
Why make the shift to sustainable products? These days, “natural” and “eco-friendly” aren’t just buzzwords. They refer to resources that deliver results while being sourced and developed in ways that aim to protect both the planet and the skin. For those who remain skeptical, science offers another perspective. The promise of natural products isn’t based solely on anecdotal evidence. Science-backed tests and research methods help determine which ingredients from nature can be effective for hair and skin. With the wealth of information available in today’s tech-forward world, the shift toward natural solutions is not only about sustainability but also effectiveness. Naturals by Watsons offers a product line of gentle and sustainable formulations made with naturally derived ingredients. What is good for the skin can also be good for the planet. The brand follows its “Results Rooted in Nature” philosophy, delivering hair and skin solutions that make use of naturally available resources through responsible and sustainable methods. The in-house brand of Watsons offers products categorized according to different “super ingredients,” each associated with specific benefits. This gives consumers the opportunity to find products based on their individual concerns while reducing unnecessary experimentation and confusing jargon. The products are formulated with ingredients that have been tested for efficacy and undergo continuous formulation testing. The brand also states that the integrity of its ingredients makes its products generally suitable for expecting or breastfeeding mothers, although consumers are advised to consult their OB-GYN before using any personal care product during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Naturals by Watsons carries four flagship hair care lines, each highlighting a key ingredient and the specific concerns it is formulated to address. For dry and damaged hair, Naturals by Watsons offers its Argan Oil Shampoo and Argan Oil Conditioner. The duo is formulated with argan oil to help nourish and revitalize hair while supporting moisture, shine and elasticity. Complementing the pair is the Naturals by Watsons Argan Hair Oil, which provides lightweight, non-greasy nourishment for smooth, shiny-looking hair. For thick and coarse hair, Naturals by Watsons Olive Shampoo and Olive Conditioner are formulated to provide lasting hydration, restore vitality and enhance shine. The Naturals by Watsons Olive Hair Oil completes the routine by helping seal split ends. For scalp care, consumers can turn to the Naturals by Watsons Aloe Vera Shampoo and Aloe Vera Conditioner, which are positioned for anti-dandruff care. Made with 99 percent certified organic aloe vera, the products cleanse and nourish the hair, soothe the scalp and help keep hair smooth and hydrated. The Naturals by Watsons Aloe Hair Tonic complements the routine and is designed to support healthier-looking hair over time. For consumers concerned about hair fall, Naturals by Watsons offers its Coffee Shampoo and Coffee Conditioner. The products contain caffeine, which is positioned to help revitalize the roots, as well as sesame oil for scalp moisture and Abyssinian oil to hydrate dry and brittle hair. The Naturals by Watsons Coffee Hair & Scalp Tonic features Baicapil and is positioned to address breakage-related hair loss and hair density. Beyond hair care, Naturals by Watsons also offers skin and body care products designed to provide naturally derived solutions for everyday personal care needs. The range features ingredients such as rosemary, rose, lavender, ginger, tea tree, bakuchi and sakura for face and body care, with each formulation targeting different skin concerns. The brand says its naturally derived ingredients are supported by science-based findings and are designed to deliver results with consistent use. Naturals by Watsons combines these ingredients with gentle formulations while maintaining its focus on sustainability. Sustainability is incorporated into the brand’s sourcing, research, packaging and refill initiatives, combining environmental considerations with science-based product development. With Naturals by Watsons, the brand continues to promote its philosophy, “Results Rooted in Nature: The Essence of Nature, Powered by Science.” Naturals by Watsons products are available at more than 1,200 Watsons stores nationwide and through the Watsons App, with Express Delivery and Click & Collect options.
