Hon. Gomashie Inaugurated Steering Committee For the Ghana-Korea Heritage Project

Ghana’s Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Hon. Dzifa Abla Gomashie, has officially inaugurated the Steering Committee for the Ghana-Korea Heritage Project. This committee is tasked with overseeing a strategic, five-year initiative dedicated to protecting Ghana’s historical sites and building their resilience against climate change.

​Running through 2030 and beyond, the initiative focuses on climate-risk mapping, digital surveying, 3D modeling, joint research, capacity building, and community engagement. Modern monitoring technologies will also be integrated into local preservation practices.

​As part of the collaboration, South Korea is supplying specialized technical equipment, including high-resolution drones, 3D scanners, digital microscopes, thermal imaging cameras, and precise GPS survey tools. These technologies will strengthen Ghana's ability to scientifically evaluate, document, and conserve its historical structures.

​Beyond technical advancements, the long-term partnership aims to reinforce cultural bonds between Ghana and South Korea while establishing a sustainable, tech-driven framework for heritage management for generations to come.
