WHO WE ARE The African Culture Fund (ACF) is a pan-African initiative which supports the creative sector through innovative artistic projects that it finances, contributing to the writing and establishment of new narratives of positive social change in Africa. Over the years 2018 and 2019, we have financially supported artists and cultural actors in 19 African countries. http://www.africanculturefund.net/ OUR CURRENT INITIATIVE IN THE CONTEXT OF COVID-19 In the current context of COVID-19 crisis , the creative sector in Africa is proving to be one of the most severely affected by the effects of the pandemic. The majority of creation, production and distribution centers are closed and artists are idle, without prospects, many of them living between despair and dismay. It is against this backdrop that, the African Culture Fund (ACF) has launched since May 23, 2020 a first batch of calls for projects exclusively for the benefit of artists, through the initiative called " Solidarity Fund for Artists and Cultural Organizations in Africa " (SOFACO), in order to support African artists negatively affected by the COVID-19 crisis. The ACF SOFACO Initiative covers all African countries ; and the amount to be granted is USD 2,000 (Two thousand US Dollars) per artist. Our target is to support at least 500 artists.
