Ghana will officially launch its long‑awaited Culture Policy in March during Ghana Culture Day.
The policy, developed through extensive stakeholder consultations, is intended to reposition culture as a strategic pillar of national identity, education and development.
Madam Abla Dzifa Gomashie, Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, disclosed this during a UNESCO delegation's visit to the Ministry in Accra.
She said the document was being finalised for Cabinet consideration and would provide a clear framework for cultural governance and implementation.
The Minister used a courtesy engagement to brief the delegation on the Ministry's key priorities, including cultural policy reform, youth‑focused cultural development, and strengthening cultural education.
She reiterated the government’s commitment to restoring culture and history as central elements of national consciousness and nation‑building.
The delegation, led by Mr Edmond Moukala, Head of Office and Representative of UNESCO to Ghana, said the visit was primarily to meet with the Ministry, formally convey UNESCO's goodwill, and congratulate the Minister on her leadership and accomplishments over the past year.
He commended Ghana’s efforts in cultural promotion and heritage preservation, citing initiatives in traditional knowledge systems, music and active participation on UNESCO platforms.
“UNESCO reaffirms its readiness to continue working closely with Ghana to support cultural development, heritage protection and capacity‑building initiatives in the years ahead,” he said.
