This article may be helpful. It notes Ghanian architect, Joe Addo.
I know Joe quite well as he was one of the founders of the A+D museum. Other than him it has been pretty tough.
if you could provide more details of the nature of work, description and scope of project, i'll see if i'm able to help.
