A new area of our work will build on our previous area of work around creative economy convenings for the East African region, as well as our inaugural co-producing of the creative economy programme at the Ghana 2020 Expo -Tanzania which had four components- a panel discussion (pictured above) , market access and Business-to-business (B2B) networking for the fashion brands, a creative economy roundtable focusing on fashion and artisanal products and finally a fashion show.
