Government Powered Arts and Crafts Industry Information Portal

The Kenya Kwanza Government promised to develop a Government Powered Arts and Crafts Industry Information Portal to help in listing different players in the Industry and market their products.

The Kenya Kwanza Government reiterated its commitment to the establishment of the arts and crafts industry portal in the 2025 Budget Policy Statement, wherein it committed to develop a Government-powered arts and crafts industry information portal to promote the development of creative and film industry.
The government continues to fulfill its promise through the development and integration of several digital platforms, most notably the Sanaa App and the Talanta Hela portal. These tools are designed to list industry players, facilitate marketing, and eliminate barriers for artisans.
To market products globally, the government is leveraging its embassies abroad to display and promote Kenyan arts and crafts, integrating the creative economy into its broader economic diplomacy strategy.
The Info-Trade Kenya portal, managed by KenTrade, provides artisans with step-by-step export procedures for commercial crafts, simplifying the process of reaching global buyers.
The Department of Culture has moved its services to the eCitizen platform, enabling practitioners to register cultural groups and access government support services digitally
