It provides a renewed strategic framework for preserving, promoting, and harnessing the country’s cultural heritage as a catalyst for national development, social cohesion, economic growth, and creative innovation.
The policy has been reviewed and updated to align with contemporary national and global realities, including the growth of the creative economy, technological advancement, cultural tourism, youth empowerment, cultural education, and the safeguarding of Ghana’s tangible and intangible cultural heritage.
