Accra: The Africa Monologue Challenge (AMC) Organising Committee has officially confirmed Nouvelle Place as the Pan-African House for Season 3. It marks a significant milestone in the programme's preparation, setting the stage for a month-long creative residency for young storytellers from across Africa.
According to Ghana News Agency, the 25-room facility, located at 16 ET Akunnor Street in Adjiriganor, East Legon, will serve as the residence and creative hub for 12 finalists representing nations across the continent and diaspora. From 30th August to 1st October 2026, storytellers from Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Zambia, Kenya, Botswana, the Republic of Congo, Benin, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Cameroon, and the African diaspora in the United States will live and work together at Nouvelle Place.
A statement issued in Accra emphasized that Nouvelle Place is a multi-level, multi-functional facility designed to accommodate hospitality, training, events, and productions at the highest standard. The property features well-appointed rooms and suites, production spaces, conference facilities, and secure, private grounds with 24/7 power and backup systems. Its design is intended to accommodate the finalists, production crews, judges, and executives throughout the month-long residency and reality show production.
The search for the Pan-African House was led by Bombo Investments, an intra-African trade organization working with AMC to promote continental commerce, in partnership with PGGL. A site tour by the committee on 2nd August 2026 led to Nouvelle Place being confirmed as the official host venue. Mr. Harold Roger Quartey, Chairman of the AMC Organising Committee, expressed his satisfaction with the choice, stating that Nouvelle Place matches the ambition of AMC Season 3 and provides an environment for young creatives to collaborate and create content reflective of Africa's unity and diversity.
Madam Unice Ablakwa, Founder/Owner of Nouvelle Place, expressed her pride in hosting AMC, emphasizing the facility's readiness to support world-class events and productions. PGGL, the Operating Partner of Nouvelle Place, is set to support the operational readiness of the facility, working closely with the AMC Organising Committee to prepare the venue for the successful delivery of the programme.
Mawuko Kuadzi, Co-Founder and CEO of the Africa Monologue Challenge, highlighted the transformation awaiting the 12 finalists during their residency at Nouvelle Place. Excellence will be the standard, and the participants will be trained in performance, professionalism, and leadership. Nana Dwomoh-Doyen Benjamin, Co-Founder and COO of the Africa Monologue Challenge, underscored the strategic importance of the Pan-African House in advancing Africa's content sovereignty, aiming to transform finalists into Africa Image Ambassadors.
Nouvelle Place will also host high-level visitations from traditional rulers, government officials, business leaders, High Commissioners, and representatives of Pan-African institutions throughout the programme. Each participating country will contribute to the branding and storytelling of the space, ensuring the facility reflects the continent's diversity.
In the coming weeks, stakeholders, including partners and High Commissioners, will visit Nouvelle Place to assess the facility's transformation, reinforcing the collective commitment to the success of AMC Season 3. The Grand Finale is scheduled for 18th September 2026 at the National Theatre of Ghana, marking the culmination of a significant cultural exchange and creative development initiative.

It is supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, National Film Authority of Ghana, the Ghana Tourism Authority, the Diaspora Affairs Office of the President, and the Africa Prosperity Network, celebrating Pan-African culture through storytelling.
