This initiative promises to promote culture and tourism by partnering with young creatives to launch and promote the Black Star Experience.

Key Objectives:

• Promoting Culture and Tourism: The policy aims to elevate Ghana’s cultural heritage and tourism potential.
• Empowering Young Creatives: It seeks to support youth startups in the creative space financially and logistically.
• Showcasing Local Talent: School sporting activities will be rejuvenated to identify and nurture local talents to feed the growing sporting industry.

Benefits:

The NDC’s commitment to the creative arts sector is evident in their 2024 Youth Manifesto, which outlines plans to empower youth in the informal sector, digital skills, agriculture, and agribusiness.
