In 2019, during Ghana’s “Year of the Return”, a national program of Diaspora Engagement, bearing a letter of recommendation from the Deputy Chair of the African Union, endorsing my work on the “RMDI Project”, I obtained an appointment to meet with HE President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo – with the objective of assessing how the RMDI might integrate into the “Year of the Return” framework and objectives.

The RMDI (Retirement Migration Development Intervention) is an Enterprise Systems Engineering construct designed to channel the knowledge, human, and social capital of inbound cohorts of retirees into an agenda of high-leverage development focused entrepreneurial network partnership.

This presentation will provide a high-level walkthrough of the RMDI Enterprise Architecture and provide an overview of my experiences and interactions at the African Union HQ and at the Jubilee House in Ghana. The intention is to share the challenges associated with communicating the design and nuances of a novel and complex development intervention architecture and to share lessons learned and future research.
