The Creative Arts Agency (CAA) has called on stakeholders in Ghana’s creative and cultural industries to actively participate in the National General Cleaning Exercise scheduled for Friday, July 10 and Saturday, July 11, 2026.

In a statement issued on Thursday, July 9, and signed by the Acting Executive Secretary, Gideon Aryeequaye, the agency expressed its full support for the government’s declaration of the two days as National General Cleaning Days under the auspices of the Post-Flood Mitigation Committee.

The nationwide exercise, themed “Our Actions, Our Future: Cleaning Ghana after the Floods,” is aimed at mobilising citizens to restore the cleanliness of communities, protect the environment and reduce the impact of recent flooding.

The CAA urged musicians, actors, filmmakers, visual artists, fashion designers, writers, publishers, artisans, dancers, photographers, content creators, event organisers, creative entrepreneurs and all practitioners across the creative value chain to take part in the initiative.

According to the agency, creatives have a unique responsibility to inspire positive behavioural change and promote responsible citizenship through their influence in society.

“By participating wholeheartedly in this exercise, creatives will demonstrate that the industry remains committed not only to artistic excellence but also to nation-building, environmental sustainability and the collective well-being of all Ghanaians,” the statement said.

GTA Launches Blue Ghana Initiative to Tackle Beach Pollution After Devastating Accra Floods

Published

on

The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), Maame Efua Houadjeto, has urged Ghanaians to take collective responsibility for protecting the nation’s coastline as the Authority unveiled a nationwide beach sanitation campaign aimed at addressing environmental pollution and reducing flood risks.

The initiative, titled “The Blue Ghana Initiative: Protecting Our Beaches, Preserving Our Future,” seeks to mobilise citizens, coastal communities, government institutions, and stakeholders to keep Ghana’s beaches clean while promoting environmental sustainability.

Addressing participants at the launch, Maame Efua Houadjeto stressed that preserving the country’s beaches is not solely the responsibility of government agencies but a shared national obligation.

She noted that Ghana’s coastline serves as both a major tourism asset and a vital natural resource that must be safeguarded for future generations.

“Our beaches are more than places for recreation and tourism. They represent Ghana’s image to the world and are a legacy we must protect. Plastic waste that blocks drains in our communities often finds its way into the sea, causing serious environmental damage. We all have a responsibility to keep our surroundings and beaches clean,” she said.

The campaign comes in the aftermath of the devastating floods that struck parts of Accra following torrential rains on June 29, 2026.

Several communities, including Alajo, Circle, Kaneshie, Odawna, Tse Addo, and Weija, experienced widespread flooding that claimed lives, displaced residents, and caused extensive damage to homes and businesses.

According to disaster management officials, the severity of the flooding was largely attributed to clogged drainage systems caused by indiscriminate disposal of solid waste into gutters and waterways.

Environmental specialists have repeatedly warned that refuse dumped into drains is eventually carried into rivers before ending up along Ghana’s coastline. They caution that the growing pollution threatens marine ecosystems, contaminates beaches, and undermines fishing and tourism activities that support thousands of livelihoods.

Through the Blue Ghana Initiative, the Ghana Tourism Authority hopes to encourage sustained public participation in environmental cleanliness while promoting responsible waste management practices that will help preserve Ghana’s beaches and reduce the impact of future flooding.
