In view of this, the Embassy has launched the ‘Creation Africa Ghana’ initiative to empower entrepreneurs engaged in various creative sectors, including architecture, design, publishing, music, cinema, digital creations, and more, by providing training, funding, and mentorship opportunities

This initiative aligns with a broader shift in French foreign policy, particularly in Africa, which advocates for promoting innovation and entrepreneurship within the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs).

The support from the French Embassy in Ghana signifies a step towards harnessing the immense potential of Ghana’s creative talent, fostering growth, and contributing significantly to the nation’s cultural and economic landscape
