SSCC has from its inception attached special importance to the African continent and the African diaspora. This was due partly to the fact that its Director for External Affairs, Claudia Turbay, was the ambassador of Colombia in Ghana and 18 West African countries, and that the SSCC Chairman also spent a long spell in Ghana and worked in 34 African countries. Moreover, Colombia, where SSCC is established, has an important Afro-descendant diaspora. The following is a summary of current activities:

1. Docufiction film Ulysses from Ghana, which SSCC facilitated in August 2021. The film first had a private viewing by VIPs at the SDG Festival in Manila on 3 April 2021. The film was subsequently shown by the Government of Ghana to Ambassadors to UNESCO in Paris, and UNESCO subsequently decided to inaugurate its II Forum Against Racism and Discrimination in Mexico City in October 2022 with Ulysses from Ghana, and also close its IV Forum in Barcelona in December 2024. The film was also shown in the Adolfo Mejía theatre in Cartagena and will also be screened in other countries. In the course of 2024/2025, a version of the film which uses artificial intelligence was made and will become a powerful educational tool due to a number of videos of prominent people who work in the field of the struggle against racism.
2. SSCC is deeply involved in the Pan African Heritage World Museum, which will be inaugurated in September 2026 or 2027. The SSCC Africa Chairman is Vice Chair of the Museum, Hon Kojo Yankah the Chairman, and the ACOPS Chairman is special adviser to the international board. SSCC was pleased to act as a host to the visit of Kojo Yankah to Colombia in 2023, with a special ceremony organised by the Governor of the province of Cauca. Visits were also organised to the first independent Republic in the Americas, Palenque, with a distinct African culture. The Ghanaian Ambassador to Colombia, resident in Brazil, H.E. Abena P.A. Busia, was also in attendance.
