THE ARTS ACADEMY PARTICIPATES IN THE VALIDATION OF THE GAMBIA'S CREATIVE INDUSTRY STRATEGIC ROADMAP

The Arts Academy, the first art school in The Gambia, was honored to participate in the validation of the Creative Industry Strategic Roadmap held at the Senegambia Hotel.

Representing the institution was its CEO, Abdou Bah, who joined government representatives, development partners, and key stakeholders from across the creative sector to review and validate the draft roadmap.

The roadmap was developed through an extensive consultative process led by the International Trade Centre under the EU-funded Youth Empowerment Project Tourism and Creative Industries Programme. The five-year initiative (2024–2029), valued at approximately D728 million (EUR 10 million), aims to strengthen the competitiveness, inclusiveness, and sustainability of The Gambia's tourism and creative industries while creating employment and entrepreneurship opportunities, particularly for youth and women.

The validation session provided stakeholders with the opportunity to review the draft roadmap, make recommendations, and collectively shape a strategic framework that will guide the growth and transformation of The Gambia's creative industry over the coming years.

The Arts Academy commends ITC, the European Union, and all stakeholders involved in this landmark initiative and reaffirms its commitment to nurturing talent, promoting creativity, and contributing to the development of a vibrant and sustainable creative economy in The Gambia.

Together, we are shaping the future of The Gambia's creative industry.
