indianoceanie co-creation fund

The regional project for the development of cultural and creative industries (ICC) in Indianoceania of the Indian Ocean Commission (IOC) , is launching the Indianoceanie Co-Creation Fund in order to support inter-island exchanges and collaborations, but also to promote access to regional markets.

The fund aims to:

1. Promote inter-island artistic and creative collaboration for the production of works reflecting the cultural diversity of the region;
2. Expand the opportunities offered to artists and cultural operators by stimulating and strengthening partnerships in the Indian Ocean and Africa;
3. Develop the artistic and creative offer by encouraging the implementation of co-production agreements and by professionalizing regional creation and production.

As the ICC project aims for structural change for gender equality in culture, priority will be given to projects with an impact on equality by promoting the full participation and inclusion of women.

The ICC project is led by the Indian Ocean Commission (IOC) and financed by the French Development Agency (AFD).
