Global Citizen Festival has announced its latest initiative, Move Afrika, will work closely with Kendrick Lamar.
On Monday, Global Citizen announced the festival's inaugural Move Afrika event in Rwanda will host Lamar as the festival’s headliner. The ticketed event will take place on Dec. 6 at the BK Arena in Kigali, Rwanda.
The upcoming event will begin the organization’s future expansion of festivals across the African continent. In addition to headlining the December festival, Lamar and Dave Free’s company, pgLang, will curate the upcoming Move Afrika event. PgLang will continue to curate Move Afrika events for the next five years.

“Move Afrika is Global Citizen’s latest effort to address the world’s inequities by creating job and entrepreneurship opportunities for the continent’s emerging generations through an annual series of world-class live events,” per the Global Citizen official site.
The event will also invest in community-provided health services for local communities. Move Afrika will also work with local vendors, agencies, artists and crews to provide on-the-job skill development and training opportunities.
