The Cultural and Creative Industries Development strategy recognises the role of the cultural and creative industries in National Development thus placing the arts and culture as one of the important tenets of the nation's development trajectory. The strategy set the stage for the development of the cultural and creative industries in the next five years. It aims at the professionalisation of cultural and creative industries through creation of professional unions, associations, guilds and other bodies like any other sector. In addition, this measure broadens the scope of cultural and creative industries through recognition of previously excluded domains like architecture, industrial designs and others into the realm of creativity.
Premised upon three philosophical areas that include respect for the diversity of cultural expressions, cultural identity, cultural rights, International Cooperation, and the role of the cultural and creative industries in sustainable economic development, the strategy has been developed as a framework to guide strategic investment and foster collaborative partnerships between the central and local governments, arts and cultural organisations and the wider community towards the holistic development of the sector
