Description The objective of the project was to contribute to the preservation and the promotion of cultural diversity, focussing in particular on the Bissagos Islands in Guinea-Bissau, by creating a network of three West African music festivals.
Results - The Bubaque Festival provided an opportunity for greater ceremonial coordination and collaboration across islands; - The network of stakeholders has been reinforced and micro-entrepreneurship business increased; - The action was able to generate short-term revenues (technical festival personnel, musical artists, hotels and tour operators, micro-entrepreneurs in food services, accommodation, event attendees, cultural industry policy makers). - Positive environmental impact was achieved through environmental education and the promotion of bio-diversity.
Key figures - 352 jobs created - 267 artists involved, 20,000 spectators - 36 people trained - 207 artistic groups promoted

Description Making African documentaries available through a film catalogue, DVDs and a web platform.
Results - The final beneficiaries (the partners) have expanded their network in the African audiovisual field and acquired skills in the field of film sales, negotiation and sales strategies for the African audiovisual market. - The target group (television stations) became aware of the need to broadcast high quality African programmes and African creative documentaries. They also understood the need to generate an economy for the rights holders and therefore to pay for the films; - The project has been useful for African independent producers, offering them other prospects for distribution, partnership and acquisition of rights.
Key figures - 1 VOD platform - 1 catalogue of more than 100 films - 50 films sold to African television channels
