This Afrifestnet publication was conducted with the support of 28 African festivals directors who contributed their experiences and learnings to the research lead by Peter Rorvik, AN Secretary General. The project was funded by the British Council, and managed by the Afrifestnet Steering Committee. The objective with this first toolkit is to contribute to the strengthening and the planning of the organizational processes of festivals in Africa.
This tool aims to assist artists, cultural practitioners and stakeholders in Africa to focus their efforts on developing well-researched, well-analysed and thoroughly debated policy frameworks of relevance and significance to their circumstances, that ultimately result in raising the standard of arts and cultural theory and practice in their respective countries.
