The project is themed “Empowering artists through policy formulation and robust legal framework: An engagement with artists on inputs into cultural policy, copyright and other relevant laws”.

Nana Otuo said at the end of the training, “the freedom of the artists shall be emphasized and new reforms and regulatory frameworks shall be proposed for consideration by; the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Office of the Copyright Administrator, the Cultural Policy Review Committee, the Creative Arts Agency, National Film Authority, National Media Commission, Office of the Attorney General and Ministry of Justice as well as the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Academia.”

Moukala highlighted the the contribution of the cultural and creative industries worldwide, a reason for a collective effort to push Ghana’s.

“Informal CCI sales in emerging countries were estimated to total US$33b in 2013 and to provide 1.2 million jobs. Performing arts are the biggest employers in the informal economy, providing unofficial music and theater performances (street performances, festivals and concerts that do not pay authors’ rights, private performances at marriages and funerals, etc.), which are often free for audiences. In Africa, these performances are sometimes funded by individual sponsors,” he noted.
