Govt approves revised national culture policy

RURAL Development, Promotion and Preservation of National Culture and Heritage minister Abednico Ncube yesterday said the government has finally approved the revised National Arts, Culture and Heritage Policy meant to resonate with the current national development framework.

Speaking at a National Intangible Cultural Heritage Committee meeting in Harare, Ncube said the policy, which was first crafted in 2007, drew attention to issues that had not received adequate consideration.

“The review of the policy was a lengthy, collaborative effort by previous ministries of Education, Sports, Arts and Culture, with various stakeholders through broad and inclusive consultation,” he said.
