Chris Cox, Chief Product Officer at Facebook, visited the Meltwater Entrepreneurial School of Technology (MEST) in Accra earlier today to meet with Ghanaian entrepreneurs and see how they are working to build sustainable technology businesses.

He later visited the ANO Gallery in Osu, where he got to meet Efya and a couple of other panelists to discuss on the impact of Facebook and social media on their lives. This event included performances from M.anifest and a few others.

Chris' visit is part of a week-long trip to Nigeria, Ghana and Senegal where he is keen to understand how creatives, developers and entrepreneurs are using mobile technology to create services, content and businesses that address local needs.
