Tuesday, 14th November 2024, in Kigali, Rwanda, at #ACCES2024, Minister of State Xandrine Umutoni shared a powerful message on how Africa’s creative industry is driving growth and shaping the continent’s future.

In Rwanda, music has long been a tool for storytelling and preserving national history, and today, it continues to shape the cultural fabric of the nation. At ACCES2024, creatives from across Africa are coming together to explore ways to drive progress, promote fair compensation, and cement the creative economy’s role in sustainable development.

MoS Sandrine Umutoni committed to establishing frameworks that ensure African artists are fairly compensated, with their rights crossing borders as effortlessly as their music. With key voices from CISAC, SAMRO Music, and CAPASSO Hub, the conversation is set to ensure a creative legacy for generations to come. Rwanda is proud to stand at the forefront, supporting this shared vision for Africa’s artists.
