The Creative Arts Agency of Ghana, with support from French Embassy, is aiming to professionalise and expand Ghana's music industry with regards to copyright and music publishing.
In tandem with this, there will be boot camps and workshops for interested creative arts enterprises and practitioners.
Twenty screened and selected people will be sponsored at the end of the project to be trained by French Music Publishing Professionals (from SACEM) and some certified Ghanaian music publishing experts.
They will be then be certified as International Music Professionals to hold the publishing rights of Ghanaian creatives locally, rather giving their works to foreign publishers.
On July 20, 2024, there will be a creative session on music rights at the Jambo Spaces in Accra to advance this cause.
Dubbed 'Play it right' this particular event is themed: 'Empowering Ghanaian Artists in the Music Copyright Landscape.'
The Creative Arts Agency is government institution mandated to prescribe standards for the regulation of the creative arts industry, create an enabling environment through direct and indirect support for arts education, artistes, creative arts practitioners and organisations, and promote collaborations with institutions created for the regulation of the specific domains in the creative arts industry, artistes and creative arts practitioners, and organisations, nationally and internationally.
They also aim to grow the creative arts industry nationally and internationally through partnership and industry development assistance that facilitates pathways to organisation and innovation; and ensure that access to the market by creative arts practitioners is enhanced.
