Alan Kyerematen, the leader and presidential candidate of the Movement for Change, has announced a groundbreaking initiative to transform Ghana's creative industry under his Great Transformational Plan (GTP).
Central to this vision is the establishment of the Creative Arts Development Fund (CADF), aimed at providing financial and technical support to talented individuals to help them unlock their potential and contribute meaningfully to Ghana's economy.
Speaking on the policy, his running mate, Kwame Owusu Danso (KOD), emphasized the fund's potential to empower aspiring creatives. "The Creative Arts Development Fund will make resources available to aspiring musicians, poets, comedians, and artisans so they can develop and promote their craft," he noted in an interview with JoyNews.
Reflecting on his own experience as a musician, KOD spoke passionately about the obstacles faced by young artists, noting that with financial backing, they could avoid the challenges he and others encountered early in their careers.
