Scale up cultural production and creative economy

The Kenya Kwanza Government promised to work with stakeholders to identify the incentives, capacity building and other support required from the State to scale up cultural production and the creative economy.

The Kenya Kwanza Government has taken steps aimed at scaling up the creative economy, for example, through the Creative Economy Support Bill, 2024 which proposes the establishment of a “Creatives Fund” from which persons in the creative industry can access grants and the US-Kenya Creative Economy Forum to highlight discussions on the untapped investment opportunities within Kenya’s creative economy.
The State Department for Youth Affairs and Creative Economy has conducted nationwide stakeholder validation sessions in 21 counties to ensure the final policy reflects the needs of grassroots creators
