Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo says his government will continuously support the country\u2019s creative arts industry as a potent force for wealth creation.<\/b><\/p>\n

Emphasising the sector\u2019s robust potential to transfom the econo\u00admy through job creation, he said the government was committed to backing initiatives aimed at its enhancement.<\/p>\n

The President made the asser\u00adtion yesterday at the launch of a project dubbed: \u2018Creation Africa Ghana,\u2019 which is part of a broader project for 15 African countries including Ghana, South Africa, Benin, Cameroon, Ivory Coast, Guinea, Kenya, Madagascar, Nigeria, Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Senegal, Tanzania, Chad, and Togo.<\/p>\n

The primary objective of the initiative, which is being undertak\u00aden by the government of France, is to foster the integration of cultural and creative actors and creators into economic sectors to bridge the gap between artistry and entrepre\u00adneurship.<\/p>\n

It also seeks to create opportuni\u00adties for creators and entrepreneurs to participate in influential events on the African continent and in Europe.<\/p>\n

President Akufo-Addo com\u00admended the government of France for choosing Ghana as the first port of call for the project, adding that it would go a long way to sup\u00adport existing talents in the creative arts sector whiles creating employ\u00adment and growing businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are grateful that the first port of call for this laudable ini\u00adtiative is Ghana. We have a viable creative art industry and I strongly believe that this project will con\u00adtribute significantly to job creation and fostering a sense of pride and unity among Ghanaians and Afri\u00adcans at large,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The creative sector he said was an incubator for innovation, pushing boundaries in technology, design, and storytelling, adding that strategic investment in it ensures vibrancy and resilience in the economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe creative arts industry is not just a cultural asset, it is an eco\u00adnomic powerhouse with far-reach\u00ading societal impacts,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Launching it, the Ambassador of France to Ghana, Mr Jules Ar\u00admand Aniambossou, said beyond its focus on Ghana, the project would promote regional collabo\u00adration, encouraging exchanges and coordination among West African countries.<\/p>\n

Explaining, he mentioned that the French foreign policy had in recent years shifted focus towards promoting innovation and entre\u00adpreneurship, particularly within the cultural and creative arts industries.<\/p>\n

These industries he said have untapped potentials in Africa.<\/p>\n

The Ambassador commended the President for his unwaver\u00ading commitment to the arts and culture industry of Ghana, saying such support was instrumental in preserving heritage and boosting the nation\u2019s cultural wealth.<\/p>\n

On her part, organiser of the Creation Africa Forum, Lis Gomis stated that the initiation would contribute significantly towards reigniting the dialogue between the diaspora and the African con\u00adtinent through arts and culture.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow it is time for the world to get more information about what Ghana has to offer in terms of creative arts and culture. Let us show them what we have to offer,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
