Establishment of the film fund

The Kenya Kwanza Government promised to Mandate the film fund to facilitate access to modern equipment and entire film production infrastructure available for local film makers on a hire and lease basis.

In December 2022, the Cabinet Secretary Ministry of Youth Affairs reiterated the Kenya Kwanza Government’s promise to establish the film fund.
In May 2026, the President pledged KES 1 billion as part of the film fund during the Kalasha Awards, and disbursement of funds is now pending.
