Creative Arts Agency Board seeks Lands Ministry’s support for welfare project

The Creative Arts Agency's Governing Board sought the Lands Ministry's assistance for a welfare project aimed at enhancing the living conditions of aged and needy individuals in Ghana's creative arts sector. During a meeting with Minister for Lands and Natural Resources Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, the focus was on implementing the President's initiative to provide care and shelter for elderly, vulnerable and needy members of the creative arts community who have contributed significantly to the industry's growth.

To lay a solid foundation for this project, the Agency formed a Welfare Committee tasked with implementing measures to improve the well-being of industry practitioners. One of the Committee's critical responsibilities is to secure land for constructing shelters that will offer accommodation and care for deserving members of the creative arts community.

Speaking on the matter, Anthony Obeng-Afrane, Chairman of the Creative Arts Agency's Governing Board, revealed that the Agency had already requested the Lands Commission to allocate state land in Accra for the proposed project. He emphasized that obtaining suitable land would be a crucial step in realizing the President's vision of establishing a tangible welfare facility for members of the creative arts industry.
