The African Union requested financial support from Group of Twenty members for creative industries across the continent at a cultural policy meeting in KwaZulu-Natal. Angela Martins from the union's culture division told representatives on Monday that film, music, and digital arts generate employment for young Africans while contributing to economic development. She emphasized that fair compensation systems must reach artists in underserved regions as technology creates distribution opportunities.

South Africa convened the three-day Group of Twenty Culture Working Group session ahead of November's summit in Johannesburg. Martins connected cultural preservation to climate adaptation strategies and urged nations to fund heritage sites threatened by environmental changes. The African Continental Free Trade Area could expand markets for creative products across 55 member states. Officials discussed artificial intelligence regulations and equitable streaming revenue at sessions held from October 27 through 29.
