Briefing the press in Accra on preparations the PANAFEST Foundation was making towards the festival, Mr Yankah said local interest was being whipped up for those in the country to actively participate in the festival since experience has shown that locals have watched such events from the touchline.

This year's programme would be under the auspices of the African Union (AU) and Ghana. He said the festival was to enhance the ideals of Pan Africanism and the development of Africa.
