'Creativity and imagination go together. One leads to the other. Kabanda hits the very central point of human progress, the creativity and how it relates to development. Without inspiration for imagination the world is a dead place. Kabanda presented in a very convincing way the role of creative industry and arts in the broad framework of development discourse. Anybody interested in development must read it. It gives a completely new perspective.' Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, 2006
