Accra, March 31, GNA=96Mr Moses Anibaba, British Council<\/p>\n

Director for Ghana, has expressed confidence in the country’s<\/p>\n

creative industry saying it had the potential to meet demand for<\/p>\n

quality and innovation production in the television and film<\/p>\n

industry. Though the creative industry, particularly the television and<\/p>\n

film industry, had badly been criticised recently for profanity,<\/p>\n

pornography and poor quality programmes, Mr Anibaba insisted<\/p>\n

that quality training and monitoring would push talented<\/p>\n

entrepreneurs to unleash their potentials. He was speaking at the graduation ceremony for the Fourth<\/p>\n

Creative Enterprise Training Programme co-organised by British<\/p>\n

Council (BC) and the University of Ghana Business School<\/p>\n

(UGBS) in Accra on Thursday. Mr Anibaba described Ghana as a country endowed with<\/p>\n

many talented people in the creative industry and recommended<\/p>\n

that capacity building and skill-honing programmes was needed<\/p>\n

to mentor the citizenry for national development. “Ghanaians are very talented=85People are looking for quality<\/p>\n

and innovation in the film industry and Ghana has the potential to<\/p>\n

meet the expectation”, he said. Mr Anibaba expressed hope that the graduands would<\/p>\n

practice the things they had learnt to create a difference in the<\/p>\n

creative industry. The Creative Enterprise training programme is the initiative of<\/p>\n

BC and UGBS which began in 2009 with the aim of providing<\/p>\n

managerial and entrepreneurial skills for persons in the creative<\/p>\n

sector. The UGBS created the Enterprise Development Services<\/p>\n

(EDS) to provide consultation, training and mentorship<\/p>\n

programmes for players in the Small and Medium scale<\/p>\n

Enterprises (SMEs) and personnel in the creative industry to<\/p>\n

grow their businesses. Mrs Majorie Beeko, EDS Business Development Manager of<\/p>\n

UGBS, said the four-week training programme had equipped the<\/p>\n

graduands with the ability to protect their intellectual property,<\/p>\n

business contracts and had exposed them to negotiating and<\/p>\n

networking skills and the Ghana’s business regulatory framework<\/p>\n

as well. She expressed confidence that the modules on business<\/p>\n

planning, costing and pricing, basic knowledge in financing and<\/p>\n

business management would equip graduands to excel in their<\/p>\n

fields of endeavours. Mrs Beeko said, 93a little effort and investment in honing<\/p>\n

business skills can translate into huge financial successes. At<\/p>\n

EDS, we maintain that entrepreneurial education is no use of<\/p>\n

itself, unless it adds value to the entrepreneur’s competence and<\/p>\n

by extension growth to his firm.” In a speech read on his behalf, Mr Johnson Adasi, Director of<\/p>\n

SMEs at the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MOTI), called for<\/p>\n

effective Public Private Partnership as a tool to address<\/p>\n

challenges facing entrepreneurs. “There is also the need for attitudinal change on the part of<\/p>\n

Ghanaian SME operators and conscious efforts should be made<\/p>\n

to have the vision to grow their enterprises and not to be satisfied<\/p>\n

with marginal growth.” Mr Christian Adusu-Donkor, a graduate of the Fourth Class,<\/p>\n

appealed to the MOTI and stakeholders to encourage young<\/p>\n

entrepreneurs to stay in business. He told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that the training<\/p>\n

programme had offered him the ability to cost his services in a<\/p>\n

more scientific and efficient way. Mr Cyril Akonor, a graduand and Creative Designer for Big<\/p>\n

Ideaz Consult, a private firm, told GNA that he had learnt how to<\/p>\n

improve on personal branding to carve out a niche in the creative<\/p>\n

industry. He was grateful to the managements of BC and UGBS for the<\/p>\n

programme. Thirteen people formed the Fourth Class of graduates out of<\/p>\n

the 73 students so far trained through the UGBS and BC<\/p>\n

collaboration. Enterprises under the creative industry include media,<\/p>\n

television, advertising, software computer games, multimedia<\/p>\n

production, film and theatre, music, visual and performing arts,<\/p>\n

fashion design and publishing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
