Abstract
This Plan of Action is in its rightful place in the context of the prospect of an African Cultural Common Market to be launched as part and parcel of the Treaty of Economic Union of Africa In this respect it responds fully to both economic and cultural preoccupations of Heads of State and Government gathered in Dakar in the matter of development Besides it has the merit of having been prepared within the parameters of practical propositions. In effect it goes beyond previous global analyses whose conclusions have become prototypes. Based on these conclusions the Plan of Action of Nairobi endeavours to determine with precision the objectives, the conditions, the obstacles and the means of a veritable development of African cultural industries. But, in my view, the most Important thing IS. perhaps. that it is addressed to policy-makers of the economy. Including those in the private sector; that it seeks to build a new North-South as well as South-South partnership and seeks to protect copyqhts of new cultural products. while giving confidence to African consumers in the fulfilment of their own culture.
