Ghana is looking forward revitalize its cultural landscape with an overhaul of the National Cultural Policy, which hasn't been revised since 2004. The existing policy has been rendered obsolete due to the rapid pace at which technology is developing and the changing needs of society. With funding from UNESCO and the European Union, the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture is leading an initiative to modernize the policy to meet the contemporary development trends. Ghana's vibrant cultural heritage-marked by its diverse ethnic groups, languages, and artistic traditions-remains a fundamental aspect of the nation's identity. To ensure broad-based input, the Ministry convened a validation workshop at the Accra International Conference Centre[AICC] on Tuesday, August 13, 2024, bringing together key stakeholders from the creative industries, civil society, academia, and traditional authorities.
