About Us
The Africa Creatives Alliance (ACA) has its roots in Uganda, drawing inspiration from the lessons and best practices of MoTIV, East Africa’s largest creative hub and recognizing the transformative impact of such entities in advancing the African creative economy, the alliance seeks to strengthen the business models of these intermediaries, foster best practices, and create enabling ecosystems that prioritize supportive regulations and investment. By doing so, ACA aspires to be the unified voice and champion for these hubs, incubators, and makerspaces across Africa, driving systemic change and advancing the continent’s creative economy.
ACA is built on a Pan-African network of partners and members, dedicated to empowering and advancing the creative economy across Africa by connecting, equipping and supporting Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs). The activities undertaken, with partners and members, enhance capabilities for achieving mutual goals. ACA’s work is structured through four strategic pillars, each reinforcing the goal of establishing a dynamic, well-financed CCI ecosystem that enhances access to capital, scales creative businesses and fosters long-term sustainability and economic growth.
Our Pillars
