Music Opportunities in Africa
The Music In Africa Foundation (MIAF) is a leading pan-African arts organisation with a mandate to support the African music sector, particularly music creators. We do this by creating and sharing opportunities for music professionals to learn, exchange, develop and promote their careers, and by actively implementing developmental projects, including, but not limited to, artist mobility, capacity building, educational programmes, performance, lobbying, conferences and other related initiatives. On this page you will find useful information about our existing and previous projects, as well as important updates.
