Togolese Gvt’ Spends CFA300 Million to Support Local Cultural Actors

(Togo First) - The government disbursed CFA300 million for cultural actors, under the 2021 Fund for Support to Culture (FAC). The list of beneficiaries was released by the ministry of culture and tourism on September 1. 

The money will finance 512 projects picked out of 965 submitted in response to a call for projects launched by the government. This is a timely blessing for cultural actors who have been struggling due to the measures Lomé imposed to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic.

The CFA300 million will be shared as follows: 131 million for 252 performing arts projects, 31 million for plastic art projects, 58 million for film projects, 24 million for literature projects, 40.4 million for heritage conservation projects, and 15 million to enable Togolese actors to attend local and international cultural events. 

This is the sixth time that the government is supporting cultural actors through the FAC.
