Abstract
In 2015, the East African Community (EAC) Secretariat commissioned and supported the development and compilation of a regional report of culture and creative industries in its Partner States - Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda and Burundi. This followed an earlier support by the Secretariat in 2013 and 2014 to the Partner States to produce national mapping studies for culture and creative industries. The regional report, therefore, makes a comprehensive capture of data from the national status reports of the Partner States. Additional information was also secured through literature review of regional and international studies on culture and creative industries.
Specifically, this regional report provides information on culture and creative industries in order to inform the planning and implementation of regional interventions towards the development of the culture and creative sector. The report covers geographical distribution and concentration, regional statistics and global market opportunities, export (turnover), contribution to GDP and employment, royalties and copyrights and strategies for developing culture and creative industries in the EAC. It also provides for actions and strategy plans for the dissemination of the information in this report to all stakeholders in the EAC Partner States.
