The
Ministry of Trade and Industry and the Savanna Accelerated Development
Authority (SADA) are set to conclude a policy document to declare the
first Friday of every month as “Batakari Day.”
This forms part SADA’s plans to expose the culture in the northern part of the country to the local and international community.
It
also forms part of a broader policy brief captioned, “The Grass is
Greener,” which is to harness resources to improve upon the
socio-economic lives of people dwelling within the Savanna Zone of the
country.
The “Batakari Day” will be launched at a ceremony to be held at the offices of the World Bank Ghana office on September 4, 2015.
Key
among the series of programmes outlined for the month include; Still
and Motion Photography Exhibition, an experiential celebration of the
people and cultures of the North of Ghana through garment, food, music
and dance.
The festival which is a month long exhibition and
celebration of the sights, sounds and flavours of Northern Ghana is
expected to be replicated across all the regional capitals in the
country.
The “Grass is Greener” program is being sponsored by
SADA, with support from the Ministry of Trade and Industry, Ministry of
Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Ghana Investment Promotion Centre
-GIPC and The World Bank Group. |
