Following the outcome of last week’s National Cultural Policy consultations, the Department of Culture will be hosting another series of consultations that will target specific sectors in the Creative Industries, according to Cultural Policy Advisor Ruel Johnson.
In an interview, Johnson said last week’s three-day consultation, which targeted government agencies, the private sector and non-governmental stakeholder organisations, was “very successful.”
He noted that the first phase of consultations was done in 2015 and it informed the first draft of the national cultural policy, which was completed by 2017. The framework has been available online since. Johnson said now that the second phase of consultations is over, the Department will embark on a third, which will commence next month.
