Here is something about the 100M stimulus package for artistes;
Why The Package?
Covid-19 pandemic has exposed all of us to economic hardships affecting provision of basic needs. It has also had psychological effects especially with the lockdowns and curfew.
Kenya had over 100,000 artists and therefore there had to be an effective model of using the funds. With this scenario the ministry adopted Work For Pay model.
This means the amount will be used to motivate artists to produce content aimed at promoting Covid-19 Creative Community Education. That way the amount will be paid against the content created and published.
The ministry plans to work with cultural and creative industry to package the content to aimed at behavior change to flatten the curve. That includes social distancing, washing hands and wearing masks.
The industry will so package content against domestic violence and social ills that have emerged due to the measures put in place against covid-19 pandemic.
