According to https://www.theartnewspaper.com/news/ghana-appoints-experts-to-draw-up-radical-new-plan-for-museums-and-monuments the findings of the President’s Committee on Museums and Monuments will ‘consider a new structure and financial framework for the museums’ boards as well as proposing educational initiatives, architectural projects and research on Ghanaian objects in international museum collections.’ The committee’s report has been supported by a grant from George Soros’s The Open Society, as part of a wider initiative to aid in the repatriation of cultural artifacts to the African countries in which they belong.
