SIAO 2026 dedicates a day to Ghanaian crafts and culture

Ouagadougou’s International Arts and Crafts Fair dedicated 3 November 2026 to Ghana, its guest of honour. Sidwaya reports artistic performances, food tastings and meetings between Ghanaian and Burkinabe professionals.

The day puts into practice the programme announced at the fair’s opening. Burkina24 and Minute.bf had documented the place given to Ghana and its craft heritage.

Ghana’s trade minister had called for stronger trade and local processing of raw materials. The day therefore combines a cultural showcase with business contacts.

Professional meetings do not, however, establish sales or signed contracts. The sources consulted publish no commercial results for the day.
