Another potential contributor to the growth of the African creative sector is the recently-established Commonwealth Group on Arts and Culture which had its first meeting in London, coinciding with the Euro-Africa Campus on Cultural Cooperation.

The next meeting of the heads of Commonwealth states takes place in Trinidad and Tobago in November 2009. The aim of the Commonwealth Group on Culture and Development is to develop a position paper for adoption in November that will outline the Commonwealth’s commitments in this area.
All interested parties are invited to make submissions to the Group to inform the writing of this position paper.

Submissions should be sent by post or email by 1 August 2009 to:
