“The PGA Fellowship for HOPE is an invaluable opportunity for me to connect, learn and grow in a dynamic, multilateral environment.”

Diedra Sealey has served as a Foreign Service Officer in the Policy and Research Division of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, International Business and CARICOM Affairs of Grenada since 2019. 

Since joining the Ministry, she has provided research assistance for Government initiatives such as the Grenada Diaspora for Development Project (GD4D) in 2020.

In this role she has provided policy advice to the Ministry’s leadership on the subject of Grenada’s bilateral and multilateral ties with the region.
