Abstract

National and continental-level support is needed to create accessible and inclusive infrastructure for the creative economy. This would address the existing challenges in developing creative spaces and supporting the working lives of creatives across Africa, including financial constraints, educational provision, poor infrastructure and low levels of access to technology. Partnerships and multi-stakeholder collaborations across private, third-sector/community and public organisations can address the limited longevity of top-down initiatives and may provide the most sustainable model for creative economy and infrastructure development. There are significant opportunities for governments to learn from their creative communities and their entrepreneurial strategies. The voices of creatives need to be heard in developing policies for the creative economy in order to create strategies and support systems that directly respond to the needs of the sector. The chapter also presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book
