UNESCO indicated that there will be a musical “High Life” night with special performances from some of the finest Ghanaian artists and a statement from Grammy Award Nominee, Rocky Dawuni, who is an Ambassador for JMCA.

“Since African and Afro-descendant culture is a rich source of the world’s shared heritage, it is crucial to promote it for the development of the continent and for humanity. There is much to learn, share and celebrate on World Day for African and Afro-descendant Culture, and UNESCO encourages everyone through the country to join in through various activities such as debates, conferences, workshops, cultural events and presentations or exhibitions”.

Major Stakeholder

There are a number of stakeholders that will collaborate to ensure the success of the festival. Some of them include: African Network of Cultural Promoters and Entrepreneurs (RAPEC); Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC); United Nations Education Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO); and Association of African Universities (AAU). The African Union (AU); Pan African Historical Theatre Festival (PANAFEST); Musician Union of Ghana (MUSIGA); Ghana Culture Forum (GCF); Pan African Writers Association (PAWA); Diaspora African Forum (DAF); Ghana National Commission for UNESCO; Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA); and National Commission for Culture (NCC) are all stakeholders.

Each year on January 24th, World Day for African and Afro-descendant Culture celebrates the many vibrant cultures of the African continent and African Diasporas around the world and promotes them as an effective lever for sustainable development, dialogue, and peace. As a rich source of the world’s shared heritage, promoting African and Afro-descendant culture is crucial for the development of the continent, and for humanity as a whole.

UNESCO adopted 24 January as the World Day for African and Afro-descendant Culture at the 40th session of the UNESCO General Conference in 2019. This date coincides with the adoption of the Charter for African Cultural Renaissance in 2006 by the Heads of State and Government of the African Union. Celebration of this day also aims to promote the widest possible ratification and implementation of this Charter by African States, thereby strengthening the role of culture in promoting peace on the continent.
