Ghana gains GI status for Kente cloth, protecting its cultural origin and boosting artisans.
Ghana has achieved Geographical Indication (GI) status for Kente cloth, officially recognizing it as a traditional textile originating only from specific communities in the Ashanti and Volta regions.
The protection, granted by Ghana’s Intellectual Property Office and acknowledged by WIPO, ensures authenticity, combats counterfeiting, and supports local weavers through verified labeling and market access.
The milestone follows UNESCO’s 2024 recognition of Kente weaving as intangible cultural heritage and marks a major step in preserving Ghana’s cultural legacy while enhancing economic opportunities for artisans.
