Africa: Arts

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what steps her Department is taking to support creative industries across Africa.

Answer

As set out in DFID’s Economic Development Strategy, which I launched earlier this year, we are helping African countries to improve their investment climates so that new industries can flourish. This includes tackling constraints on start-ups, job creation and investment which will help the creative industries along with other emerging businesses in Africa to succeed.
