Free investment and basic training skills leveraging on the Hustler Fund

The Kenya Kwanza Government promised to provide free investment and basic training skills leveraging on the Hustler Fund to musicians to ensure they are able to turn their talents into businesses.

While the Hustler Fund was launched in November 2022, there is no public record of the establishment of any free investment and skills training programs.
Musicians can access Hustler Fund loans like other informal sector participants, and the Creative Industry Development Fund (referred to as the Creative Economy Grants program) was established, with its own registration system — the National Register via the KCEA portal
