About Création Africa: South Africa, Lesotho and Malawi Cultural & Creative Entrepreneurs

Ten years after South Africa’s Cultural Season in France, a new milestone has been reached in cementing the partnership between France and Southern Africa. Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs, Catherine Colonna, announced during her visit in June 2023 the establishment of Création Africa: South Africa, Lesotho and Malawi, a multi-million-rand programme looking to support and upscale cultural entrepreneurs based in the three countries.

Création Africa is a groundbreaking initiative by the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs coordinated by the Embassy of France and the French Institute of South Africa (IFAS). Création Africa is part of a continent-wide French investment to bolster the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCIs).

Program Details

The programme aims to support and boost emerging creative and cultural entrepreneurs across Lesotho, Malawi, and South Africa. Through a mentorship, incubation and immersion programme, the initiative will strengthen the networks, skills, and capabilities of these entrepreneurs and enterprises.

The Embassy of France in South Africa announced the appointment of UVU Africa as Création Africa’s local incubator partner.
