Ethiopia’s revised cultural policy, initiated by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, reflects the government’s increased emphasis on cultural development in the context of the nation’s rapid growth. Acknowledging the constitutional recognition of the rights of nations, nationalities, and peoples to preserve and promote their cultures, the policy aims to strengthen cultural values against globalizing influences. It addresses the limitations of the previous policy, particularly in neglecting the economic significance of cultural activities. Emphasizing the need for a developmental response, the revised policy aims to tap into Ethiopia’s rich cultural resources for economic benefits while fostering tolerance, mutual respect, and national unity in the face of globalization.
