Kenya Wanga Kingdom, Buipewura sign MOU under the Sister Kingdom Network

The Sister Kingdom Network (SKN) has marked a historic milestone with the signing of its first-ever

Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Wanga Kingdom of Kenya and Buipewura of the Gonja Kingdom in Ghana-a groundbreaking moment in Africa’s journey toward traditional-led continental integration.

The SKN is a continental framework established to reconnect African kingdoms and traditional authorities through structured cultural, economic, and developmental partnerships. This first MOU sets a foundational precedent for kingdom-to-kingdom collaboration beyond modern borders, rooted in shared heritage, mutual respect, and people-cantered development.

This landmark kingdom-to-kingdom bilateral agreement establishes a new framework for cooperation rooted in African tradition, sovereignty, and shared prosperity. The MOU covers strategic collaboration in land exchange programs, youth empowerment and exchange initiatives, cultural preservation, heritage tourism, kingdom funds and farms, trade, and broader economic development programs between the two kingdoms and their respective regions.

Central to the agreement is the Kingdom Farms Initiative, designed to advance “Africa’s food sovereignty not merely food security” by empowering kingdoms to control food production, land use, and agricultural value chains for their people.

The agreement also enables land exchange arrangements, allowing citizens of both kingdoms to engage in business, trade, settlement, and investment within each other’s territories. As part of this historic partnership, both kingdoms will establish royal residences and representatives in each other’s domains to safeguard the interests and welfare of their people.

This first MOU sets the foundation for the continental expansion of the Sister Kingdom Network, as more kingdoms and chiefdoms across Africa are being engaged to enter into similar bilateral and multilateral partnerships focused on trade, youth empowerment, cultural preservation, land access, and economic self-determination.

“This is not diplomacy as usual. This is Africa reconnecting herself-kingdom to kingdom, people to people-on our own terms,” the network stated.

The Sister Kingdom Network will be rolling out additional programs and partnerships in the coming months as it builds a unified, tradition-led economic and cultural alliance across the African continent.

This is the ancestral pathway to unity and economic sovereignty
