The Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Hon. Abla Dzifa Gomashie, has reaffirmed the government’s commitment to youth employment through the creative arts.
She made this statement during a meeting with the AU Human Capital Institution Development team last Friday in Accra.
The Minister praised the creative economy as a powerful tool for job creation, sharing her own journey in dance, acting, and design.
She also highlighted the Black Star Experience as a platform to showcase Ghanaian talent.
The AU delegation, led by Mr. Symerre Grey-Johnson, outlined plans to harness fashion, textiles, and recreation/wellness as growth pillars for Africa’s creative sector.
They further urged increased investment, local production, and strategic partnerships to transform creativity into a driver of economic growth.
