34 laureates selected from the fourth call for projects #4 Grants from the Fund for the Promotion of West African Cultures

The Consortium « Institut Français de Paris (IF) and the Centre Culturel Kôrè de Ségou (CCK) » in charge of the ACP-EU CULTURE PROGRAM: SUPPORT TO THE CULTURAL AND CREATIVE SECTORS IN WEST AFRICA – AWA, launched from November 21 to December 30, 2023 its fourth call for projects.

The AWA program has a twofold objective, namely:

On the one hand, to support the boosting of the competitiveness of cultural and creative industries along the entire value chain (creation, production and dissemination) in the 16 West African countries.

On the other hand, to contribute to the development of the digital economy in West Africa by supporting the actors of the cultural and creative industries in their digital transition.

The fourth call for projects called « Fund for the promotion of West African cultures » aims to provide beneficiaries with a maximum grant of €25,000 over 1 year to promote the cultural and creative content of West Africa, by promoting assistance for creation and production, image education and the development of means of dissemination and distribution (physical and digital) of cultural goods.

This call for projects aroused real interest among West African cultural operators in view of the very high quality of the responses and the mobilization of 168 applications from twelve (12) of the sixteen (16) countries in the region.

The choice of the 34 winners was entrusted to an international jury composed of West African experts chosen for their expertise and their perfect knowledge of the region.

This jury accompanied by the coordinators of the AWA project met on March 6, 2023 for its deliberation in the presence of observers from the European Commission and the ACP-EU Culture Technical Assistance Unit. During this final session, the 34 winners were confirmed.
