The Creative Arts Agency (CAA) has called on players in Ghana's creative and cultural industries to actively participate in the National General Cleaning Exercise scheduled for Friday, July 10, and Saturday, July 11, 2026.

In a statement signed by the Acting Executive Secretary of the Creative Arts Agency, Gideon Aryeequaye, the agency expressed its full support for the Government of Ghana's declaration of the two days as National General Cleaning Days under the auspices of the Post Flood Mitigation Committee.

The nationwide exercise, themed "Our Actions, Our Future: Cleaning Ghana after the Floods," seeks to mobilise citizens to restore the cleanliness of communities, promote environmental responsibility, and support efforts to address the impact of recent flooding across the country.

The agency urged musicians, actors, filmmakers, visual artists, fashion designers, writers, publishers, artisans, dancers, photographers, content creators, event organisers, creative entrepreneurs, and practitioners across the creative value chain to take part in the initiative.

According to the agency, the creative community has an important role to play in influencing public behaviour and promoting responsible citizenship.

"Beyond producing works that entertain, educate, and preserve our rich cultural heritage, the creative community possesses the influence to shape public attitudes and encourage responsible citizenship," the statement noted.

The agency said participation in the exercise would demonstrate the industry's commitment not only to artistic excellence but also to nation-building, environmental sustainability, and the well-being of Ghanaians.

It also highlighted the increasing threat posed by flooding and poor environmental sanitation, stressing the importance of clean surroundings, well-maintained drainage systems, and responsible waste disposal in safeguarding lives, property, and public health.

The Creative Arts Agency further encouraged creative associations, guilds, unions, institutions, production houses, creative businesses, and practitioners across all 16 regions to mobilise their members and work closely with metropolitan, municipal, and district assemblies; traditional authorities; security agencies; and community organisations during the exercise.

Reaffirming its commitment to national development, the agency urged creatives across the country to respond to the call with dedication, patriotism, and a strong spirit of volunteerism.

"Let us come together to clean our communities, restore our environment, and reaffirm our shared commitment to protecting our beloved nation," the agency stated.
