Africa in Colors was born from the need to have a strong and sustainable solution for Africa’s culture and creative industry ecosystem, where art and artists are respected, protected, and able to monetize their work.
What started from Rwanda has grown into a global network and collaboration spanning over 40 countries, uniting creatives, entrepreneurs, DFIs, financial institutions, public and private sector leaders, toward rethinking and creating a strong Pan-African creative economy.
Building a strong culture and creative industry ecosystem, valuing art, and artists, able to monetize their work
Establishing favorable environments and sustainable solutions for creatives, artists, entrepreneurs, to thrive, and for CCI’s to contribute better to African countries’ economies.
Africa in Colors was founded by Rugamba Raoul, a visionary committed to transforming Africa’s creative industries into a continental economic force.
With deep roots in both cultural innovation and economic strategy, Raoul leads the movement alongside a network of passionate collaborators, advisors, and regional partners who bring this vision to life every day.

We believe in building global networks that values all parties, and provides global access to opportunities, markets, and finance.
We believe in Africa’s talent, and its potential in redefining Africa’s future, from empowering local communities, to contributing significantly to African economies

We believe in the power of the culture and creative industry to shape the future of African narratives, storytelling, and the African perception.
