The west African nation expects KRL to pitch the Trump Administration, members of Congress and the donor community on potential collaboration in support of its development and policy objectives.

Job creation, public debt management and economic expansion are key areas of focus.

Levinson served as managing director of Burson-Marsteller’s BKSH & Assocs., where she represented the Iraqi National Congress, before launching KRL in 2007.

She has worked in African hot spots such as South Sudan but is best known as long-time advisor to Liberia President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Africa’s first woman chief of state.

KRL’s one-year contract is pegged at $300K.

Under the agreement, a two-member KRL team is to visit Ghana at least once every two months to discuss communications strategy and program results.
