Guide to funding
opportunities for
the international
mobility of artists
and culture This Cultural Mobility Funding
Guide presents a mapping of
professionals FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES

for INTERNATIONAL CULTU-
– AFRICA RAL MOBILITY, focused on the

African continent.
The main objective of this cultural mobility funding guide is to provi-

de 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 interna-
tional cultural exchange.
This guide – whose first edition was supported by Korea Arts Ma-
nagement Service1 and whose current edition is supported by the
British Council – is modelled on the Guides to funding opportuni-
ties for the international mobility of artists and culture professionals
in Europe, Asia, the Arab Region and the USA.2 You can refer to
the methodology of these guides in the document “How to read
the cultural mobility funding guides,” 3 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).

This guide – whose in- http://on-the-move.org/funding/arabcountries/
formation was mostly http://www.medculture.eu/
compiled between Sep-
tember-November 2017 by Lara Bourdin, researcher for
Art Moves Africa (AMA), in close collaboration with Marie
Le Sourd from On the Move (OTM) and thanks to the
support of the British Council and its offices in Africa
– is an attempt to gather all the resources in one docu-
ment. It draws on extensive online research as well as
on previously completed studies: namely, AMA’s studies
on mobility and touring in East Africa (2011, 2012) and
Central Africa (2015), and The Cultural Mobility Funding
Guide – Focus on the 13 Arab Countries (by the Arab
Education Forum with OTM with the support of Korea
Arts Management Service and the programme Med-
Culture).4
While the guide aims to provide a comprehensive over-

view of funding opportunities for mobility to/from Africa,
it is by no means exhaustive for the following reasons:
- Funding schemes are regularly subject to change,
which may render some information outdated. This is
particularly the case for international/regional funding
schemes affected by budget cuts, policy changes
etc.;
- Some potential funding opportunities could not be
identified due to the lack of consistent information
available online;
- Most African countries lack national regular funding
schemes supporting artists’ mobility, which makes
the information highly challenging to identify.
The information is organised according to the fol-

lowing structure:
1) Organisations and funding bodies based in
Africa (where South Africa is one of the coun-
tries most represented in terms of funding sche-
mes)
2) International organisations with an African
focus (where French-speaking countries/”Fran-
cophone” countries and the MENA region are
the most covered regions in terms of cultural
mobility funding support)
3) Global South-focused organisations (where
Africa is one of the world regions covered,
usually with Latin America and Asia)
4) Bilateral and multi-lateral cooperation sche-
mes (in particular with countries such as France
and Germany but also regional entities like the
European Union)
5) International prizes, residencies and other
support schemes (this part has been added to
open the scope of opportunities for African ar-
tists and cultural professionals, as funding pos-
sibilities specifically targeting them are rather
limited)
6) Resources (this section offers tips and advice
for African artists and cultural professionals
seeking mobility funding and identifies informa-
tion platforms relevant for the African cultural
sector as well as additional funding organisa-
tions that do not meet the selection criteria re-
levant for the cultural mobility funding guide.4

to engage in the exchange of information, the
enhancement of skills, the development of
informal networks, and the pursuit of coope-
ration.

a purveyor of information on cultural mobility
opportunities for African cultural professio-
nals. It conducts regular studies on cultural

Our Africa arts strategy is focused on working to

develop stronger African creative sectors that are
better connected to the UK. We do this through
sharing the best of arts and culture in the UK and
Africa; building audiences for the arts through the
development of new networks; and communica-
ting the work of the creative sectors by enabling
artists to be better connected with their various
communities.
We work through our partners in the creative sec-

tors of the UK and Africa to stimulate new ways of
engaging with each other and the mobility of Africa
-based artists is key to making better connections
and developing work. The British Council is de-
lighted to be supporting the creation of this helpful
funding guide.
