ABOUT

Chapter54 is a boutique consultancy that exists to help bolster African Creative Economies through research and programming.

Our research and insights focus on the evolving landscape of African Creative Economies, exploring trends, challenges, and opportunities that shape the sector. Through rigorous analysis and thought leadership, we provide strategic recommendations that inform policy, investment, and industry growth. Chapter54 is committed to producing knowledge that amplifies African perspectives, ensuring that creatives and cultural practitioners have access to data, case studies, and frameworks that support sustainable development.

Alongside our research, we design and deliver arts programmes tailored for and by African creatives, both on the continent and in the diaspora. These initiatives range from capacity-building workshops and mentorship programmes to interdisciplinary residencies and networking platforms. By fostering collaboration, skill-sharing, and cross-cultural exchange, Chapter54 helps to strengthen creative ecosystems and empower practitioners to thrive locally and globally.

At the core of our work is a commitment to fostering mutually beneficial global and cross-sectoral partnerships. We believe that sustainable impact in the African Creative Economies is best achieved through meaningful collaborations that connect creatives, policymakers, investors, and industry leaders across disciplines and geographies. By facilitating dialogue and partnership, Chapter54 seeks to bridge gaps, unlock new opportunities, and contribute to a more inclusive and interconnected creative economy.

We deliver insight-led work by engaging with a consortium of expert consultants across the continent and beyond. Chapter54 draws on expertise, insights, and first-hand knowledge of local contexts in order to contribute meaningfully and authentically to both local and global discourses—a new chapter in the narratives that prevail around the African Continent.
