In November 2007 the European Union get to know that Ghana has a lot offer in terms of cultural wealth and diversity. With the growth of the tourism industry, the cultural sector has the potential to play an increasing economic role.
Recognizing the importance of cultural heritage particularly in relation to traditional textile, and its potential role for local economic development, the European Commission accepted to support the Ghana Traditional Textile, project, Conservation & Tourism Development” with GH cedis 340,000 funded through a grant over a period of three years.
The project follows an innovative approach in making the link between cultural heritage, preservation of cultural tradition and economic development in order to improve the life of the people of four traditional textile communities in three different regions (Volta, Ashanti and Northern Regions) and to stimulate tourism facilities in four selected towns (Adanwomase, Kpetoe, Ntonso and Daboya).
This is intended to more revenue, create jobs and therefore reduce the existing poverty of the residents in the area and its surroundings and improve their social and economic conditions.
