The main objective of this cultural mobility funding guide is to provide an overview of the funding bodies and programmes that support the international mobility of artists and cultural operators from Africa and travelling to Africa. It also aims to provide input for funders and policy makers on how to fill the existing gaps in funding for international cultural exchange.
This guide is modelled on the Guides to funding opportunities for the international mobility of artists and culture professionals in Europe, Asia, the Arab Region and the USA.1 You can refer to the methodology of these guides in the document “How to read the cultural mobility
funding guides,” 2 included in the European and Asian guides, which were the first of the series.
In the Africa guide you will find funding opportunities relevant to most artistic and cultural disciplines, classified by types of funding organisations. The list includes only regular funding opportunities, whose terms and application procedures are accessible online, and
that cover travel costs (partially or completely).
