Décrivez les principales caractéristiques de la politique/mesure:
The 2004 Cultural Policy of Ghana is to be reviewed to accommodate modern development trends after 14 years of its promulgation.
It is proposed that, the policy review should take into account the implementation of both domestic and international cultural agreements which bind Ghana to the comity of nations. For example, Ghana has ratified six (6) UNESCO Conventions amongst others and has pledged to implement the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) with over 169 targets which invariably confirm Culture’s role as both an enabler and a driver for sustainable development.

La mise en œuvre de la politique/mesure a-t-elle été évaluée ?:
Oui
Si oui, quelles sont les principales conclusions/recommandations ?:
The Review of 2004 Cultural Policy of Ghana as one of the major deliverables to be achieved. The Cultural Policy of Ghana received cabinet approval in 2004. The document still has a lot of unfulfilled mandate and an arduous task to accomplish. Eminent shortfalls and weaknesses in the culture sector continue to prevail and this underscores the need for continuous support for the National Commission on Culture and its implementing organizations in whatever form it would take.
The threefold objectives of the Cultural Policy of Ghana remain:
(1) Documentation and promotion of Ghana’s traditional cultural values
(2) Growth and development of the country’s cultural institutions and making them relevant to human development, democratic governance and national integration
(3) Enhancement of Ghanaian cultural life and development of cultural programmes to contribute to the nation’s human development and material progress through heritage preservation and promotion and the use of traditional and modern arts and crafts to create wealth and alleviate poverty.
