The Convention for Pan-Africanism and Progress builds on the tradition of a historic political movement with which it shares the same acronym (CPP), the Convention of People’s Party. The historic CPP, created by Kwame Nkrumah, contributed to the struggle for the independence of Ghana, to the total liberation of Africa, and the expansion of Pan-Africanism. The Convention for Pan-Africanism and Progress claims the spirit of the historical CPP, adapts it to the current realities, contingencies, exigencies, and urgencies of the 21st century.
