Creative & Cultural Industries

Creative and cultural industries are activities based on individual creativity, skills and talent and deal with the interface between economy, culture, technology and social aspects.

The Sustainable Development Goals as well as regional development agendas put forward the promotion of creative and cultural industries and encourage policies that support entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation. Africa’s Agenda 2063 and the Small Island Developing States Accelerated Modalities of Action (SAMOA Pathway) aspire to ensure that the creative arts are major contributors to the regions’ growth and transformation.
