Music in Africa Foundation

ACCES - Music In Africa Conference for Collaborations, Exchange and Showcases seek proposals from African DJs for presentations that give an informative, entertaining and innovative overview of a particular, current music genre. Two DJs will be selected to fill two available slots during the conference in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, from 24-26 November 2022.

The Music In Africa Foundation (MIAF), a non-profit organisation operating in the field of African music, has partnered with Goethe-Institut to implement the Music In Africa Sound Connects Fund. The MIAF seeks to appoint a Regional Coordinator for the fund. The successful candidate will coordinate all the aspects of the fund, and oversee its daily management, working from head office in Johannesburg (Rosebank), South Africa. 

The Music In Africa Foundation and Goethe-Institut are looking to contract the services of a qualified and suitable freelancer or company to provide the concept, writing and design services for the Sound Connects Fund’s three Good Practice Reports. The first Good Practice Report must be delivered in 2022 with the next two reports delivered in the first and last quarter of 2023.

Goethe-Institut, in partnership with the Music in Africa Foundation, invites a company or a consortium of companies/freelancers to bid for a contract to provide training and support services for the MEAL component of the Sound Connects Fund. The project aims to support creatives in nine Southern African countries, namely Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Angola, Namibia, Botswana, Lesotho and Eswatini.

The Music In Africa Foundation is inviting music industry practitioners based in Africa to apply for grants from its recently launched Music In Africa Live (MIAL) project, which aims to support musicians and the industry at large to navigate challenges and new realities introduced by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Sound Connects Fund (SCF) is a multifaceted initiative that aims to accelerate development and increase the capacity of the cultural and creative sectors in Southern Africa by offering financial support in the form of grants and robust capacity-building programmes to eligible creative and cultural industry organisations based in Angola, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
