Kinshasa, June 3th, 2026 (CPA).- The cultural industries have been presented as creators of jobs and wealth, as well as a lever for social cohesion in the Francophone world, particularly in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), according to a press release from the International Organisation of the Frnco phony (OIF) consulted on Wednesday by CPA. “As creators of jobs and wealth, the cultural and creative industries play a major role in the development of societies,” it is read.
According to this organisation, these industries not only contribute to countries’ economic development but also foster mutual understanding and bring peoples closer together through cultural exchanges. “Convinced of their importance, the OIF has for years been stepping up actions to support the development of cultural and creative industries in the Francophone world,” it is added. The organisation has reaffirmed its commitment to support cultural and creative actors in order to strengthen their contribution to economic growth, the promotion of cultural diversity and the consolidation of social cohesion in the francophone countries.
