What happened

This fund aims to address critical technical capacity gaps by supporting local digital production capacity and the adoption of modern creative technologies, including responsible AI use. The initiative aligns with the priorities of the UK-Nigeria Economic Transformation and Investment Partnership Creatives Working Group.

Why it matters
The fund is designed to help high-potential creative projects access the necessary talent, tools, and resources to produce, scale, and complete their work locally. This effort contributes to the overall goal of growing Nigeria's creative value chain.
Music genres originating from Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa are leading the global market with Afrobeats and Amapiano, reaching diaspora communities in the UK and US.
