Deadline: December 8, 2024

Africalia has announced a call for proposals designed to strengthen the cultural and creative ecosystem in Nairobi County by offering diversified cultural goods and strengthening local distribution capacities.

Within its multi-year programme in Kenya, Africalia supports a set of cultural actors and stakeholders who are an integral part of their country’s civil society and work in various artistic and creative fields. These actors are called “creators of change” and include cultural and creative enterprises and organizations, cultural training institutions, cultural incubators, and groups of individual artists brought together under cultural and creative umbrella organizations. As a result, the visibility and creativity of Kenyan artists and their works will be enhanced.
