H.E. Anne-Sophie Ave makes Avance Media Top 30 Female Diplomats in Ghana list

French diplomat H.E. Anne-Sophie Ave has earned recognition in the list of Top 30 Female Diplomats in Ghana by leading PR firm Avance Media for “excellently delivering her mission duties to support the development of Ghana”.

The list, which was announced on Wednesday (June 22), is part of the Avance Media Honours initiative, which was established to honour the 2022 Female Diplomat of the Year, which will be decided through a public voting exercise via www.avancemedia.org/vote. This year’s list is ranked as Ambassadors, High Commissioners, Heads of Mission, and Country Directors working in the country on behalf of their countries, the AU, UN, and other diplomatic organizations.

Anne-Sophie Ave has been critically lauded for her illustrious contributions towards the growth of Ghana’s creative economy and her pivotal role in bridging the gap between France and Ghana through cultural exchanges, lifestyle and sports.

She got involved in the music industry, connecting French artists Passi and Orti to Ghanaian musicians Sarkodie, Stonebwoy, Kwabena Kwabena, Becca, Fameye, Akwaboah, and Gasmilla. She went ahead to organize the Paris in Accra concert in November 2021 and the return leg, Accra in Paris, on April 23, 2022. She also hosts a TV talk show in Ghana called ‘Touch of France’.

According to the MD of Avance Media, Prince Akpah, the recognition which is being bestowed on the female diplomats is to acknowledge their accomplishments as a diplomat who has risen through the ranks to attain such a great height in a field dominated by males. He further reiterated that he believes this will be an inspiration to other women and through this honour, their works and story will motivate young women in Ghana and other parts of the world to follow in their career footsteps.
