The Kenya Film Commission (KFC) has launched a Women-in-Film Incubation Programme with GIZ, aiming to boost economic value in Kenya's film sector by empowering women-led ventures.

• The film sector contributes an estimated Sh20 billion annually to the economy.
• The programme addresses gender gaps, as only 30–40 percent of the creative industry's 130,000 employees are women.
• Five entrepreneurs each received €5,000 (Sh760,000) in funding and will undergo training and a three-month mentorship period.
• According to KFC CEO Timothy Owase, closing gender gaps is an "economic necessity" for the industry.
• The Film and Stage Investigation (FISA) report indicates the film and broadcasting sector accounted for only 0.4 percent of GDP between 2016 and 2022.
