In Africa, DFAT's NAIDOC Speaker Series, "Because of Her, We Can' was celebrated with a regional public diplomacy tour from guest speaker Lee-Ann Tjunypa Buckskin, a Narungga, Wirangu, Wotjobaluk woman and Deputy Chair of the Australian Council for the Arts. Organised by South Africa, Ghana and Egypt posts Lee-Ann's tour formed a part of NAIDOC celebrations at the Australian overseas missions.

Ghana was Lee-Ann's second stop of the tour; her visit coincided with the creation of the Ghanaian Council for the Arts, providing a timely opportunity for her to highlight the potential economic and social benefits of a national arts council. The visit showcased Australia's Indigenous arts and culture, shared experiences of cultural preservation through the arts and provided a platform to encourage the growth of the Ghanaian arts and tourism sector.
