Hintergrund

The arts and culture sector in Tanzania is very promising given the rich diversity and traditions of its people but most of the creative industries remain underdeveloped. With over 45 million people and 120 tribes, Tanzania offers a true cultural mix of tribal traditions especially in music and dance. The Swiss Cooperation Office (SCO) has been promoting and supporting various aspects of the Tanzanian culture since 2005, both the conservation of the very diverse tribal traditional arts and contemporary and creative arts. The Cooperation Office in Tanzania recognizes the continuing need for partnership and support of Tanzanian (accomplished and emerging) artists as well as other cultural events and initiatives. This programme would further enhance SDC’s development objectives and contribute to supporting an independent and diverse culture sector and promoting intercultural dialogue and exchange as a means of encouraging cultural diversity, inclusion, social cohesion and peaceful relations.
