This Creative Initiatives Toolkit offers stakeholders and researchers alike a guide to measuring the economic impact of the independent arts and culture sector as a segment of the creative sector on a district, in this study, downtown Cairo. Through an economic impact assessment of the arts on the district, it aims to demonstrate the importance of this industry sector to Downtown’s revitalisation.
The ultimate aim of this study is to produce an economic analysis of the arts, focused on cultural initiatives’ level of investment and reinvestment in the Downtown district. The toolkit and reports produced may be used as tools to advocate for governmental support for the arts sector.
