Africalia Support for Cultural Projects in Kenya Requirements

Target group and eligibility criteria

This call for proposals is aimed exclusively at legal entities headquartered in Nairobi County that operate in the cultural and creative industries sector.  

The following types of projects are eligible

• Festivals (music festivals, film festivals, dance festivals); 

• Circulation of cultural works and content (traveling exhibitions, tours, etc.); 

• Development of online distribution and websites designed to increase the value of works (audiovisual, fashion, design, crafts, visual arts, etc.). 

 

These projects are eligible if, and only if, their dissemination activities target locations other than those where they are usually organized. They must serve other places that do not have easy access to the events at which the cultural and creative goods and services are disseminated, such as neighborhoods/areas on the outskirts of Nairobi.

• Have its head office in Nairobi county; 

• Carry out cultural activities focusing primarily on the dissemination of cultural works;

• Be responsible for the preparation and management of funded activities; 

• Have a bank account opened in the name of the organization, and be able to prove this through a bank statement;
