The short survey seeks to gather crucial data that will be used by the Foundation, its partners and members of its extensive network across Africa to make informed strategies in response to the COVID-19 crisis.

We at the Music In Africa Foundation believe that civil society has a crucial role to play in the recovery of the creative economy in Africa. Understanding the impact of COVID-19 on the African music sector will enable all role players to strategise for the future more effectively.

In addition, the results of the survey will aid the MIAF to plan and position its future developmental projects.

Established in 2013, the MIAF has implemented numerous projects in line with its mission to support African music professionals, including, but not limited to, mobility funding, artist exchange programmes, training, conferences, research, artist promotion and information dissemination via the Music In Africa portal.

This year, the MIAF is set to introduce a project titled Revenue Streams for African Musicians, which will enable music professionals to identify new revenue models and improve their earning capacities.
