Moving The Ghanaian Film Industry From “Potential To Actualization” Through Investments

Film making is tough business. It requires a lot of capital yet comes with significant uncertainty in terms of profitability even among the best of producers. But in a developing industry like that of Ghana’s, fraught with challenges of inadequate capital, copyright infringement and piracy, the ability to make profits is even dimmer.

The history of the industry traces back to the 1920’s when the British colonial masters first introduced cinematography as a form of entertainment among the elite. By 1960 the government had inherited the industry from its colonial masters and established the Ghana Film Corporation. It trained promising filmmakers purposely for education and socio-economic development. By the 1980’s films were made independently after government sold its majority interest in the state film industry.

The popular movie ‘Love Brewed in the African Pot’ produced by the legendary Kwaw Ansah was the first independent movie to hit Ghanaian cinemas by 1981, however the absence of government support plunged the industry into turmoil with producers depending on the appeal of their movies to raise funds. Decades on, the Ghanaian film industry has weathered the storms and continues to be a major player in film making on the continent with hundreds of popular films produced each year. However, the growth of the industry has been stalled with persistent issues of poor infrastructure, inadequate finance, breakdown in distribution and marketing channels and the biggest of all, copyright infringements and piracy. Together, these factors erode profits of stakeholders in the film industry.

“Assuming you invest about GHC 5,000 into a production, you would expect to in the least, break even. But achieving that currently, is a huge hurdle in Ghana ” exclaimed Cecil Sunkwah-Mills the Managing Director of MultiChoice Ghana, one of the four speakers in a webinar organized by the National Film Authority (NFA) under the theme “Prospects of the Pitch Series for the Ghana Film Industry”.

He recounts how MultiChoice as one of the few internal investors in Ghana’s film industry had battled with copyright infringements and piracy over the years “we often spend loads of money fighting to protect the copyright of content we buy both locally and internationally. Even if arrests are made, the legal process is really slow and frustrating. If we really want to attract investors, we’ll have to get the courts grinding on issues of right protection”.

Very often government and industry authorities garner  efforts to address the challenges and streamline activities in the film making industry. In 2016 for instance Parliament passed the “Development and Classification of Film Bill’  to regulate and advance the country’s film industry.

At present, the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) has also intensified efforts of  drawing needed investment into the industry. According to the CEO of the Centre Mr. Yofi Grant, a number of investors have been engaged to explore opportunities in the country’s film industry. “ a group from Los Angeles has expressed interest in setting up a state of the art film studio and a theatre in art school here in Ghana, having identified a potential market in the subregion and continent that warrants such investments”. He disclosed on the same NFA webinar Others he said, have expressed interest in projects in the Eastern Region and in the provision of technologies for film production.

But to make these investments succeed, Mr. Grant pointed out that some teething problems in the industry had to be addressed. “There are three things investors want to be sure about before putting their money forward i.e. Returns on investment, Sustainability and Growth”. I daresay “it’s time we moved from potential to actualization” he emphasized.

Across the globe, the film industry has proven to be a major contributor to economic development of many countries. The American film and television industry for instance paid out $49 billion to local businesses across the country and supported 2.1 million jobs in 2016 according to data from Motion Picture Association of America.

In Africa, Nigeria’s Film industry, Nollywood, is recognised as one of the largest film producers in the world. The Industry has been identified as one of the priority sectors in the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan for the West African Federal State with a planned US$1 billion revenue in 2020 according to a PWC report on “Perspectives from the Global Media and Entertainment Outlook 2017-2021.

Although the Ghanaian and Nigerian movie industries share some similarities in terms of potential and even challenges, it is evident that Nollywood has outpaced the Ghanaian film industry due to a number of factors including, the larger size of the Nigerian market and the growing financial sector support for the industry’s activity.

Despite lagging behind its biggest competitor; the Nigerian film industry, Actress and Executive Secretary of the National Film Authority Juliet Asante, opines that the challenges inherent in the Ghanaian film business, though troubling cannot derail the industry which is rich with talent. “One thing I saw from submissions for the NFA Pitch Series is that there isn’t a lack of talent or creativity in content for multiple platforms”. She was right. Multi Choice Academy Director Femi Odugbemi shares the same sentiment about the wealth of talent in the industry having coached participants in the NFA Pitch Series.

But talent may not be enough, for the CEO of the GIPC Yofi Grant and the MD of Multi Choice Ghana Cecil Sunkwa-Mills. Both agreed that  consented effort by  industry players and government to fix  structural challenges in the industry is crucial. This includes addressing of copyright and piracy infringements, infrastructure development, fixing of distribution and marketing channels and data collection.

With these measures in place, Yofi Grant admitted, ,  it becomes easier to woo investors. “once you put out your project and can properly define it, you can then make it sell to potential investors”. Meanwhile the State, he adds, must create an ambient condition with laws and incentives to help develop the industry to its full potential seeing as it’s a part of our cultural process, identity and pride.

The Pitch Series on the other hand according to Multi Choice Academy Director Femi Odugbemi will put efforts into amassing premium projects in different genres which can attract investment funding in the long run.

The NFA Pitch Series is an all film-related pitching event intended to bring filmmakers and the Ghanaian film ecosystem to the attention of investors, broadcasters, distributors, sponsors and platforms around the world for potential collaboration, sponsorship, sales and advertising opportunities.  It is a combined effort by the National Film Authority, the Ministry of Arts and Culture, the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre and MultiChoice Ghana to attract investments necessary to chart a brighter course for the Ghanaian film industry.

Moving the Ghanaian film industry from its nascent state to a more booming one with the right structures, incentives and investments will  see the industry become a major contributor to economic development with spill over benefits such as job creation and revenue generation from local patronage and export of content.

Government to Resource GIPC to Make it More Effective – Finance Minister

Ken Ofori-Atta– the Ghanaian Minister of Finance, has revealed that government will be resourcing the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC) in order to make it more effective than it has been over the period.

The GIPC, he said, is expected to help government generate the needed revenue for the development of the country, hence the decision to resource the Centre. Mr. Ofori-Atta told journalists in parliament that: “the GIPC will be resourced to make it more effective than it has been.”

The GIPC is a Government agency, responsible under the GIPC Act, 2013 (Act 865): to encourage and promote investments in Ghana, to provide for the creation of an attractive incentive framework and a transparent, predictable and facilitating environment for investments in Ghana.

The objective of the Centre is to; Create an enhanced, transparent and responsive environment for investment and the development of the Ghanaian economy through investment; and; Encourage, promote and facilitate investment in Ghana.

Railing Up To A Connected Africa- GIPC CEO Talks Investments in Rail Sector

Urban rail on the continent is vital in providing a very efficient alternative to transporting large volumes of passengers and freight at high frequencies and reasonable cost. Rallying with this notion, Ghana has embarked on intense rehabilitation and development of its national rail network.

This according to government, is to help facilitate smooth and easy transportation of goods and persons not only within the country but through the sub region towards the creation of jobs and economic vibrancy.

Although the rail system is admittedly the future of Ghana’s transportation, financing remains a daunting task.  “In many countries rail has proved extremely difficult to crack in terms of financing” remarked Yofi Grant the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Center during a recent webinar session focused on Ghana’s railway development and strategy for implementation. “Here you have the private sector partnering with government. Government is also partnering with development partners towards a model that works. For us, rail is a very important construct in the mix of regional development, the CEO added.

According to the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Railway Development Authority Richard Dombo, who also participated in the webinar, it costs on average 5 million dollars to construct a kilometer of railroad; a figure too steep for most developing countries. There is the need to resort to other sources of funding beyond the traditional government coffers.

The total length of the rail network identified as Priority Projects in the country is 1,394 kilometers at an estimated cost of $7.8 billion. The overall total rail network being 4,400 kilometers was outlined in the Railway Master Plan as at 2013 at a cost of 21.2 billion.

So far, most of Ghana’s railway development has emanated from the concept of Private Public Partnerships. For example, the development of the 303 km Eastern Railway Line, from Accra-Tema to Kumasi with a branch line from Busoso to Atiwa through Kyebi is being undertaken with a strategic investor on a Build-Operate-Transfer basis with Ghanaian participation.

Similarly, the development of the first phase of Kumasi to Paga rail line, which covers approximately 103 km, is being financed with US$500 million earmarked out of the US$1billion Chinese CDB facility for development of this project.

“The main financing structure we have for these projects are negotiated concessions that are agreed on. These projects are viable and most of them have this model to source funds’’ explained Yofi Grant.

These developments and many more outlined by the Ministry of Railways Development Mr Grant noted, are a worthwhile cause for Ghana’s integrated advancement.  “Indeed, some of our policies such as the One District One Factory and Planting for Food and Jobs are spread nationwide and will see rail facilitate their progress. Also, rail is definitely one of the means through which Ghana can increase trade within the sub region” he said.

“By 2022 we estimate to have absorbed about 9.6 percent of freight transport in Ghana which is approximately 190 million tons and an estimated 2.4 billion tons by 2030. This will be upon the completion of the Eastern, Western, Central spine railway, which accounts for about 30 percent of freight in Ghana “added, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Railway Development Authority, Richard Dombo.

Beyond the rehabilitation and construction of several rail lines to enhance internal means of transportation, the Ministry for Railways Development has other projects that seek to create easy access between Ghana and its neighbors within the sub region. These include the Accra -Ouagadougou Line and the Trans ECOWAS Line.

“I think we have a greater opportunity to do this now, and with the signing of the AFCFTA, it means there is going to be more dynamism in facilitating intra Africa trade. It is therefore an important element in the scheme of things related that rail transport will be key to supporting this agenda. I believe that intra Africa trade has the potential of enabling wealth creation on the continent. We are already seeing investors show keen interest and seek information on what they can do in Ghana. If we don’t offer them the logistics value chain to support their investment, it will all fall flat,” said Mr Grant. He further explained that the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area has the potential to more than double intra Africa trade which will generate exponential wealth for the continent and justify investments into the railways sector.

With the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area agreement, Africa will be the world’s largest trade bloc with a combined gross domestic product of more than US $3.4 trillion. Rail as part of the transport mix holds the potential of facilitating free flow of cargo and people in large volumes. However, this endeavor cannot be attained without the participation of private sector investments. 

While efforts are underway by government to revive rail transport, the Ghana Investment Promotion Center as the investment wing of government continues to beckon for more investors; as Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) has proven to be invaluable in the successful development of the railway sector worldwide.

Government’s Initiatives towards Mitigating the Impact of Covid-19 on Businesses in Ghana

The Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) is a global health and societal emergency that requires effective and immediate action by governments all over the world. Trade, investment growth, and employment have all been affected and governments are implementing various fiscal measures to mitigate the adverse effects and provide relief for businesses.

To cushion the economic hit caused by this pandemic, the Government of Ghana rolled out a series of policies and measures to shore up the confidence of businesses and ease some of their burdens. Here are some of the consolidated and updated lists of Government of Ghana’s policies/measures towards mitigating the impact of COVID-19 on businesses in Ghana so far.

GHC1.2 BILLION STIMULUS PACKAGE FOR 180,000 BUSINESSES TO BOOST OPERATIONS.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo launched a GH¢1.2 billion Coronavirus Alleviation Business Support Programme to support Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The amount is expected to support businesses in areas such as agriculture and agribusiness, manufacturing, tourism and hospitality, education, food and beverages, technology, transportation, commerce, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, and textile and garments. The business support programme is expected to help minimize job losses in the wake of the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Out of GH¢1.2 billion earmarked for the programme, GH¢600 will be disbursed as soft loans to MSMEs with one-year moratorium and two years repayment at an interest rate of 3 percent per-anum

Furthermore, the selected participating banks will provide negotiated counterpart funding to the tune of GH¢ 400 million. The scheme is expected to reach 180,000 beneficiaries across the country.

WAIVER ON WATER AND ELECTRICITY

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in a broadcast, announced that government would fully cover the bills of low-income consumers of electricity in the country for the months of April, May and June 2020.

The remaining consumers who were outside of this category enjoyed a 50 percent reduction in the cost of electricity for the same period. In the same broadcast, the president also announced that his government would also cover the water bills for all Ghanaians for the same months of April, May and June 2020.

“We have decided further measure of mitigation for Ghanaians for the next three months… Government will fully absorb electricity bills for the poorest of the poor, i.e. lifeline consumers. This covered persons who consume 0 to 50-kilowatt hours per month for the announced period. This forms part of relief interventions by the state amid the novel coronavirus pandemic. Other categories of consumers will enjoy a 50 percent discount within the same period. For all other consumers, residential and commercial, the government will absorb 50 percent of your electricity bill for this period using your March 2020 bill as the benchmark,” President Nana Akufo-Addo stated.

MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT INTERVENTION

The Ministry of Transport on April 17, 2020 directed the Ghana Ports and Harbors Authority to suspend charges on all cargo i.e. demurrage/detention and storage rent which have remained uncleared since or during the lockdown period only. This was to ensure that shippers and other stakeholders do not take actions that may jeopardize Government’s efforts at curbing the spread of the virus on the basis of averting the accumulation of costs in the clearance of cargoes.

BANK OF GHANA (BOG) INTERVENTIONS

The Bank of Ghana (BoG) slashed its key policy rate by 150 basis points to 14.50%. The Bank’s move, which brought the rate to the lowest point since May 2012, was aimed at minimizing the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as ease the pressure on inflation.

The unexpected easing in monetary policy was chiefly prompted by rising fears that the global economy may be pushed into recessionary territory this year, thus severely curbing Ghanaian GDP growth.

The decision was further supported by cooling domestic activity growth and subdued inflationary pressures in recent months. Moreover, the Bank deployed additional measures including lowering reserve requirements for commercial banks from 10.00% to 8.50% and that of capital conservation buffer for lenders from 3.00% to 1.50% in order to improve liquidity.

The Bank of Ghana decided to decrease the cost of fund transfers through mobile money, in order to avoid a dip in transactions, thus mobile money transfers below GH100 (USD18) was not charged by service suppliers for three months. 

GHANA REVENUE AUTHORITY (GRA) INTERVENTIONS

Health workers are subject to the income tax regime in Ghana. However, to provide compensation for additional risks, the employment income of health workers for the months of April to June 2020 was exempted from income tax. The tax holiday was extended by three more months to include July, August and September by President Nana Akufo-Addo.

Additionally, income tax of 15 percent on withdrawals of non-qualifying accrued benefits under a third tier (statutory pension/provident fund) scheme was waived for withdrawals made by employees who lost their permanent employment and self-employed persons who lost their capital.

The deadline for filing annual income tax returns was extended by two months. As a result, June 30, 2020 (and not April 30, 2020) was dedicated as new filing deadline for the 2019 income tax returns for individuals and partnerships and the 2019 Annual P.A.Y.E. Deductions return filed by employers.

Companies and trusts were given six months, instead of four, after the end of their financial year to file their income tax returns. VAT charged by a donor and paid on goods contributed in support of efforts against COVID-19 was waived due to the approval of such taxable donations by Parliament as emergency relief items under the VAT laws.

REGISTRAR-GENERAL’S DEPARTMENT (RGD) INTERVENTIONS

The Registrar-General’s Department extended the deadline for filing annual company returns and renewal of partnerships from July 31 to December 31, 2020. The Department further canceled announced penalty for late annual filing for all businesses.

GHANA STOCK EXCHANGE (GSE) INTERVENTIONS

The Ghana Stock Exchange granted permission to companies for the extension of time to submit their audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (SEC) INTERVENTIONS

The SEC directed its clients to file all statutory returns online. It further encouraged Fund Managers to adhere to redemption requests as stipulated in contracts with investors. In the unlikely event of a breach, Investors are encouraged to file complaints with the SEC via the SEC’s toll-free number, email address or the website.

CONCLUSION

Ghana, just like other nations across the world has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Coronavirus Alleviation Programme and other fiscal measures implemented by the government through the various agencies are to mitigate the immediate adverse effect of the pandemic and provide relief for businesses and households.

These measures, as stated by the President during the launch of the Programme, forms part of the many initiatives by Government upon which businesses and the Ghanaian economy are expected to recover and set on the path of growth. Policies and interventions by government have been carefully designed to address disruptions in business activities and protect jobs.

On the positive side, the COVID-19 pandemic has shown that Ghana has the capacity to produce most of the goods and services that would otherwise have been imported. This ties in with government’s agenda to accelerate industrialization and local production to spur job creation and improve livelihoods. It is crucial that businesses are positioned to take advantage of the new opportunities that have risen from the crisis.

Would Disruptions Caused by Covid-19 Change the World of Work for Good?

In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic which is much averse to large gatherings, one of the intriguing questions for most  corporate  institutions is whether the disruptions presented  by the  pandemic would ignite a change in work culture for good.

While some analysts contend that the disruptions presented by the virus to  the world of work may be short lived, others maintain that the changes may be here for the long haul. It’s therefore critical that we prepare for, respond to, and ultimately emerge stronger during and post the COVID-19 pandemic. To do this, companies need to structure responses that are sustainable not just for the present, but for the challenging months ahead.

The Ghana Investment Promotion Centre whose mandate is to promote and facilitate investments in all sectors of the economy has a vested interest in the sustainability of businesses in Ghana. This article is therefore aimed at stimulating discussions on the temporary and long term changes that the COVID-19 pandemic may present to the world of work and how businesses could strategize to accommodate and manage the changes.

It is estimated that around half of the world’s population went on lockdown to  contain the spread of the COVID-19, pandemic that plagued the world and  claimed thousands of lives.  This  sparked fears of the worst global recession since the Great Depression and  had a profound impact on the world of work, as well as our mental and physical well-being.

It must  be established that the COVID-19 pandemic is both a health and economic crisis. Although other crisis situations must have plagued some parts or all the world in the past, the current pandemic is unique on several fronts.

One of the unique features of COVID-19 is its global character. Unlike Hurricane Katrina and the September 11, twin tower crash in the United States, they did not pose  a threat to all of America let alone other countries of the world. COVID-19 in another character is  pervasively disruptive by changing the way we live and work.

In all the above crisis some of the changes in policy and work introduced at the time have since ceased to be effective whiles others still linger on and have obviously come to stay.

Almost two decades ago, September /11 made an impact on how we live and behave. In that period of fear and panic in 2001, companies stopped  their staff to  travel, . Those policies faded, just as we no longer feel a surge of fear on the jet bridge, glancing at each other while trying to determine if the passengers around us in the aircraft are a threat.

But the high security processes  that were introduced at the airports have stayed on.

Similarly, despite the size, scope and intensity of the coronavirus pandemic, some work activities will go back to normalcy —at least for a while. But there will be permanent changes, which will forever alter the way we think about—and behave at—work.

The global response to COVID-19 has also caused many businesses to turn their attention to employees working from home and other remote locations causing a disruption to our routine work schedules .

Work schedules have changed dramatically in Ghana since the outbreak of the pandemic as a result of some restrictions and directives issued by government. Tall among these restrictions are social distancing, closure of boarders and good hygienic practices.

Since the outbreak of the pandemic in Ghana several businesses have implemented various changes in their work policies and schedules. While some offices had to partially shut down operations, others had to resort to other forms of work schedules including the popular rotational work scheduling and working from home etc.

Academic institutions, corporate entities have all resorted to video/call conferencing and other virtual meeting arrangement, using internet applications like the ZOOM App. and others, as a result of the social distancing restrictions imposed by the government.

One of the changes COVID-19 is going to introduce into the world of work  and for that matter Ghanaian routine work schedule is corporate flexibility. Workers are likely to quickly figured out how to work from home. When the pandemic subsides, working from home will remain popular with professionals, and that will force companies—even those that were not the biggest proponents of having a virtual workforce—to become more flexible. Now that more people have had a taste of it and proven their productivity, it will be hard for companies to take it away from Ghanaian work culture.

Also, when workers return to work, temperature checks and social distancing will likely be implemented. And that will persist for a while. But once there are medical breakthroughs like treatments and vaccines, offices will be more  communal . Conference rooms, meeting spaces and video studios will take up a lot of office space. The workplace will become a far more social environment, not a “all-by-myself” scenario.

What is more interesting of the changes to work is that many professionals found working from home a challenge not because of isolation, but because they didn’t have the ideal space or a dedicated home office. For example, having a a ‘Zoom-ready spot for video meetings along with the relevant infrastructure.   With the current changes in work scheduling, homes are likely to experience permanent home offices with accompanying  information technology infrastructure at home. Internet in homes is likely to  improve, drastically and quickly in terms of cost, speed and access.

Academic institutions have become big businesses over the decades . Now, with COVID-19 pandemic, , e-learning will become a bigger part of ongoing learning. Although in-person learning programs will be reduced and likely reserved for use when necessary,  there will be a need for a revamp of the e-learning space with accompanying infrastructure to embrace the changes in the industry.  As supervisors and staffers have gotten used to seeing each other in their natural habitats, the line that separates work life and personal life has faded. Ironically, technology has made this transition possible, but it has also led to a decidedly low-tech reality: this new corporate world has made us value our organic, non-robotic humanity more than ever before.

One of the least considered changes that is likely to occur due to the working from home and virtual working changes is the fading away of uniformed work groups. Uniforms are surely an important element in corporate identity but the trend toward casual attire will accelerate quickly.

In view of the possible short term and long term impact the COVID-19 is likely to introduce to the corporate work environment, it is important that corporate leaders begin to strategize to incorporate these changes into the future work schedules of their organizations. The GIPC shares a strong interest in the development and sustenance of your businesses.
