The challenge of the Fund is to be able to support diverse needs of professionalization, at all the value chain levels of the various sectors of cultural and creative industries, vectors of economic, social and human development in Africa.
The African continent is finally setting in motion a self-determination and a self-financing with the complicity of those who have the experience … I am very happy!

African Culture Fund reasons to be
- Convergence of cultural funding resources to facilitate the financing of culture to both financial partners and project promoters ;
- Funding for professionalization projects for African artists and cultural entrepreneurs ;
- Search for appropriate mechanisms and adequate resources for financing cultural projects in Africa.
Our Promise for the African Creative and Cultural Sector
The ACF is committed to :
- Donors and funders to “Always manage and use their donations and contributions in strict compliance with the rules of good governance based on transparency, democracy and equity.”
- African cultural and creative artists and actors to: “Always objectively prioritize their priorities and needs”.
