Film Producers Association meets Tourism Ministry to discuss industry challenges
The Film Producers Association of Ghana (FiPAG) engaged the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts in discussions aimed at strengthening collaboration and reviving Ghana's struggling film industry. The meeting focused on addressing key challenges confronting the sector, including policy direction, funding constraints, as well as structural gaps affecting filmmakers. For years, Ghana's film industry has grappled with declining production and limited investment, raising concerns about its long-term sustainability.
The situation has also forced several actors and industry professionals to seek opportunities outside the country, particularly in Nigeria. Deputy Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Yussif Issaka Jajah, remarked that "it has become necessary for data-driven decision-making in shaping the future of the industry." He noted that reliable data is essential in guiding investments, improving skills training, and supporting infrastructure development across the film value chain. He also acknowledged that current funding levels remain inadequate to meet the increasing demands of the sector, stressing the need for stronger partnerships to unlock new opportunities.
The FiPAG delegation reiterated its commitment to working closely with the Ministry and relevant stakeholders to address existing gaps and reposition the industry for growth.
