Today, I officially commissioned a Ministerial Committee on the Movie Industry & Creatives (Kumawood) to drive the growth and transformation of Ghana’s film and creative arts sector.
The committee has been tasked with:
- Assessing the current state of the industry and identifying key challenges.
- Developing policies to attract investment and ensure sustainable growth.
- Exploring strategies to promote Ghanaian films both locally and internationally.
- Strengthening film infrastructure by improving production facilities and training opportunities.
- Enhancing film festivals and cultural showcases to celebrate Ghanaian storytelling and creativity.
- Fostering collaboration between stakeholders to create more opportunities for filmmakers, actors, and creatives.
I urged the committee members to carry out their mandate with dedication, commitment, and a strong sense of unity to ensure that Kumawood and the entire creative industry reach new heights. Together, we will build a globally competitive film industry that tells the rich stories of Asanteman and Ghana!
