This CREACT4MED report highlights the salient features of Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) in Palestine. Starting with a brief overview of the country's economic and political contexts, the report continues with the key features of existing CCI such as contribution to growth, job creation and exports as well as identification of the most important CCI sub-sectors.
A list of relevant key CCI actors is presented, including governmental entities, private sector organisations, NGOs and associations, and academic institutions. The report continues with a description of national and international initiatives to promote CCI in Palestine. In addition to describing challenges and opportunities within the CCI, it also makes a number of policy recommendations for strengthening the ecosystem.
