Description

In May 2017, the Chinese government provided a $7 million USD (about RWF 6 billion) grant for the construction of a television and film studio in Rwanda. The government grant was given through StarTimes Group, a private Chinese firm. The newly constructed station will allow Rwanda to produce modern quality television and film content. The contract was signed during the African Digital TV development seminar in Beijing. The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2017.
