Swaziland 2016 report

Informations Générales
Résumé
Veuillez résumer en maximum 3500 caractères les principaux résultats et défis de la mise en oeuvre de la Convention, ainsi que les perspectives d’avenir. Veuillez noter qu’il ne s’agit pas d’une introduction au rapport ni d’un sommaire commenté.

The Kingdom of Swaziland ratified the UNESCO Convention on the protection and promotion of the diversity of cultural expressions in 2012. This Convention is an important
international legal instrument that plays an active role in making the voice of the artists heard.  It again reaffirms the rights of countries to implement cultural policies that support the diversity of cultural expressions instead of focussing on one vocal group. In the case of Swaziland there is the Swaziland National Arts andCulture Policy in place that is aimed at ensuring at strengtheng cultural identity, diversity and ensure that it benefits the people and the economy for sustainable development. Swaziland's diversity is even visible internationally through the various art and cultural ceremonies.
Main achievement:
In the case of Swaziland, nothing much have been achieved since the country has just ratified the convention. Most people in the country are not aware of the Convention. However, one major achievement the country is boosting of is ratifying the Convention. A few but important stakeholders were consulted during the preparation for the ratification of the Convention. These included teaching the Swaziland National Council which is a body that adviced the king, the House of Assembly, House of Senate, and a section of the Swazi people who manage to attend the Sibaya where the King calls the people to address their concerns. Lastlt one achievement is that some Legal frameworks touching on Arts have been strengthened to align them with the 2005 Convention e.g. the SNTC Act of 1973.

 Challenges

 Funds under this Convention have not been accessed probably due to lack of awareness about the Convention and what the country stands to benefit from it. The Goverment also does not give enough subvention to institutions responsible for implimenting the 2005 convention in order meet needs of the artists and also the 2005 funds in too limited to meet the demands from Member States. Although Artists in Swaziland are to affiliate to the Swaziland National Council of Arts and Culture some still are not yet affiliated and they suffer exploitation. They are forced to sell their goods at a very low price yet the buyers resell them they sell at high prices. The issue of Copyright in Swaziland is still a problem, The country has not yet ratified the copyright Convention which protects artists.

Outlook for future

Looking at the future expecially in the case of Swaziland, there is a great need to do awareness raising campaigns for the Convention so that the country can benefit from funds, There is a need to hold workshops and workshop the different organisations on the Convention and the funds they can access from it.

Stakeholders meetings

No stakeholders meetings were held in the process of compiling the report due to shortage of funds. However several meetings were held in the process of compiling the report with the different identified relevant stakeholders on an individual level for filling information in different section of the report. The first  meeting was designed to identify all stakeholders' who will be key in providing information  and identifying where we can get reliable or authentic information to be incooperated into the report. The identification of stakeholers was done with the assistance of the UNESCO Focal Point, Director of Cultural Heritage at Swaziland National Trust Commission (SNTC), The Chief Executive Officer at SNTC, Chief  Executive Officer at Swaziland National Council of Arts and Culture, The Secretary Geneal of NATCOM Swaziland and the Programme Officer at NATCOM. 

Several meetings were held in the process of compliling the report by member of the team with the focal point. People with information of the different sections of the report were identified and meetings were arranged where they shared their contribution to the report. The report after finishing was presented to the CEO of the Swaziland National Council of Arts and Culture, Arts Development Manager of the Swaziland National Council of Arts and Culture, Director of Cultural Heritage at SNTC, and the Secretary General NATCOM Swaziland.

The different people or stakeholders who provided information for the report came from the different arts association in Swaziland. Some more important information was obtained from the associations reports and constitutions.

Aperçu du contexte de la politique culturelle
Les Parties décrivent les principaux objectifs et priorités de leur politique culturelle en vigueur et l’impact de la Convention sur leur formulation ou reformulation. Elles rendent également compte des opportunités et défis rencontrés dans la promotion de la diversité des expressions culturelles dans l’environnement numérique.:

The different Arts and Culture policies, Acts, Bills and the Constitution of Swaziland recognizes Culture as the foundation of the nation and as a unifying factor of the people and the nation. The government of Swaziland commits also to promote all forms of national and cultural expressions mainly through the arts, traditional celebrations and traditions festivals and ceremonies which attract a lot of people from outside the country. In this different legal framework, the different groups in Swaziland expresstheir diverwity in the dances and song song, while some other ceremonies calls for unity and oneness. The  Mass media, publications, libraries, and other heritage institution are also expected to play their role in the expression of diversity as stated in the Swaziland National Council of Arts and Culture Policy. This policy states that culture and development should go hand in hand and embraces the concept of changing.

The best way the people of Swaziland can express themselves is through art especially song, dance, poet etc. In these it is where freedom of expression is well displayed. The Policy therefore guides the practice of freedom of expression through promotion of inclusion and participation for all citizens in Swaziland as a guarantee for social cohesion and peace. It also emphasizes the appreciation of cultural diversity and recognizes it as an opportunity towards widening the range of options open to every citizen to express themselves and development both socially and economically at the same time.

The Policy on Culture also allows for international cooperation with various neighbouring countries. As a result of such there are some MoUs being drafted between Swaziland and neighbouring South Africa and Mozambique on how to best develop the people of these countries through art. 

In the case of Swaziland, the role that culture plays in development and sustainable development of the country is appreciated. Most Swazis live by selling art locally or selling to vendors who again sell the art in neighbouring countries. Through culture and arts, the people of Swaziland are able to increase their control over their lives and resources through informed participation the making of art and in in decision making process, in harnessing and preserving their environment and in building a society that is socially just. The policy on culture therefore guides people participation in determining the cultural life they desire to pursue.

One element that needs to be explored is in Swaziland is the contribution culture have on the GDP. It is quite clear that culture and Arts contributes a lot to the GDP and plays a major role in meeting some of the MDGs.
 

a) Elle sert (ou a servi) de base pour modifier une ou plusieurs politiques?:
Yes
Comment?

Ratification of the 2005 Convention in Swaziland has led to the change of the Swaziland National Trust Commission (SNTC) Act inorder to include articles which are touching on the Convention. This was done in order to have the convention domesticated and included in local legal framewoks that protect culture and have artists protected by the law.

b) Elle sert (ou a servi) d’outil pour promouvoir le débat politique?
Yes
Comment?

In the case of the SNTC Act of 1973, in order to accomodate the 2005 Convention there was a need to have discussions on the Act with the relevant stakeholder. Some articles were taken from the Convention and added to the SNTC Act. This was a good initiative by the SNTC since this will make the implimentation of the Convention easy when it is captures or covered in the local leagl framework protecting and promoting cultural heritage. The Arts and Culture Department is also in a process to review their policy and their Bill to include the 2005 Convention.

c) Elle sert (ou a servi) de référence pour le développement de politiques?
Yes
Comment?

The SNTC Act as stated above has been recently been revised to add articled on the 2005 Convention to ensure the implimentation of the Convention. The Swaziland National Arts and Culture Council are also making plans to revise their Policy and strategic plan include the 2005 Convention

c.3. La principale caractéristique de la mesure: 

The Policy provides the framework for the promotion of art and culture for development and complies with international and regional instruments on culture. The core principles underlying this Policy are:

3.1 Promoting Unity in Diversity

Due to globalisation, there are diverse cultures in Swaziland. The Policy interventions shall therefore focus on the promotion of harmonious co-existence among the different communities and encourage intra and inter-cultural exchange.

3.2 Respecting one’s and the others’ Culture

Respect for culture is crucial for mutual interdependence, which is a prerequisite for social harmony and cohesion. The Policy interventions shall focus on advocacy for respect of the individuals’ culture and other cultures.

3.3 Ensuring Social Inclusion

There are some children, youth, women, the disabled, the elderly, and people living with HIV/AIDS who are marginalised by some socio-cultural practices. These include the shunning of widows in public and community events. The Policy interventions shall therefore focus on affirmative action to ensure that these categories of people participate in and benefit from cultural life.

3.4 Promoting Cultural Change

Culture is dynamic and cultural change is inevitable. Whilst certain elements of culture are to be preserved, it is important to catalyse change to address social and gender inequalities. The Policy interventions shall therefore encourage adapting and adopting to new ideas and approaches within the laws of Swaziland.

3.5 Promoting Environmental Protection

Cultural practitioners interact with and derive cultural products from the environment. Some elements of culture impact on the environment.  The environment is threatened by environmental degradation, which negatively impacts on culture activities that rely on the environment. The Policy interventions shall therefore emphasise environmental protection.

3.6 Strengthening Partnerships

There are various stakeholders in the delivery of cultural goods and services. It is therefore importa

For the action to bear the desired fruits, it is important that there must be a monitoring & evaluation tool.  In addition to developing the tool, it is imperative that there must be human beings who monitor progress. For SNCAC to succeed, progress made on each activity/target will be monitored and documented.

    b. Objectifs clefs de la mesure: 

    The constitution of Swaziland recognizes culture as the foundation of the Nation. The Constitution of Swaziland was revised in 2005 and in the new revised constitution culture was included. The placing of culture in the constitution was a milestone. The constitution gave the Swazi people more rights to diversity. For example chapter 3 of the Swaziand's constitution aims at ensuring "Protection and Promotion og Fundamental Rights and Freedoms. Article 23 (1) of the Constitution ensures full possible expression on culture including fredom of religion and expression. the first constitution adopted after independence in Swaziland did not have a chapter on culture, however the current constitution promulgated in 2005 devotes chapter three on cultural matters that identify the nation and creates unity and peace hence several bills are yet to be drawn to facilitate implementation of issued to drive the sector. Several other parts of the constitution supports the development of culture.

    The National Council of Arts and Culture together with the SNTC have programmes in place aimed at raising awareness on the 2005 Convention in a way of supporting Civil society. For the SNTC, they have outreach programmes and the UNESCO Conventions including the 2005 are introduced. Most civil society groups in Swaziland supports arts and culture activities and in all their gatherings they invite either the SNTC or the SNCAC to present certin topics on culture or including saying something on the Conventions the country has ratified. Even before the ratification of the Convention the SNTC took the initiative of outreaching different sectors to educate them about the Convention. These include The Swaziland National Council which is a body that advices the king, Polititians which include Members of Parliament and Senate, anf some from the the different political and workers groups. The SNTC was again given a slot during the National Indaba (SIBAYA) (where the king summons the Nation to the king's palace to deliberate on different issues pertaining to their lives). During the Sibaya the Minister for Tourism and Environmental Affairs was given a slot to make the nation aware of the Convention. The Swaziland National Council of Arts and Culture also have programmes in place for awareness raising. One is during their outreach to schools and communities where they deliberate on the benefits the country gets from signing the Convention.

    However there is need to apply for funding to hold local regional workshop and educate the masses on the Convention. The awareness raising campaigns currently in place are not enough.

    Résultats et défis
    Décrire les principaux résultats atteints dans la mise en œuvre de la Convention:

    The main achievements in implementing the Convention are:

    A. Under Generation resource mobilisation

    1. The Swaziland National Council of Arts and Culture was able to secure sponsors for the Arts and Culture sector. About four sponsors have been secured in developing arts in the country. Examples of these are; Total Swaziland that sponsors the Swaziland Music Artists, Swaziland Beverages that sponsors the traditional dance groups, Macmillan Swaziland sponsors the Schools Culture Competitions, Corban Build sponsors male traditional dance group competitions 

    B. Regulations

    1. The SNCAC Bill has been developed and presented in Parliament

    2. The SNCAC Policy has been developed with the consultation of all relevant Stakeholders

    3. The arts festival guidelines and regulations were developed and await for the promulgation of the arts and culture Bill.

    4. The SNTC Act has been revised to include articles of the 2005 Convention

    The  Swaziland National Council Arts and Culture (SNCAC) has continued to be instrumental in the implemantation of the National Arts and Culture Policy. The Council has continued to narture the growth of national arts and culture associations representing the existing arts and culture codes in the kingdom. SNCAC has availed technical and administrative support to these organisations that have become agents for the arts and culture development. SNCAC monitors the activites and further avail grants to assist, undetake promotional development projects. The Council has managed to avail administration and project grants to assist the associations to effectively carry out their administrative activities.

    Les défis rencontrés ou prévus pour mettre en œuvre la Convention:

    Although the SNCAC  has managed to achieve the above, however

    1.  The major challenge is lack of awareness about the 2005 Convention. During the writing of the report it transpired that most people easpecially artists were not aware of the Convention at all. It was their first time to hear about the Convention.

    2. Another major challenge is lack of funds to fund activities under the 2005 Convention. Most artists face serious budget constraints for their projects. The 2005 Convention itself have little funds to discribute among all the member states.

    3. Another challenge is that the SNCAC Bill is still pending in Parliament. It is difficult to implement the Convention while the local legal framework is not yet in place. 

    4. Some important Conventions that protects artists are still not ratified by the country like the UNESCO Universal Copyright Convention of 1952. This will make the implementaion of the 2005 Convention not easy.

    5. Exploitation of artists is still a major challenge for artists in Swaziland which can make implementation of the Convnetion not warmly welcome by certain stakeholders.

    Les solutions identifiées ou envisagées pour relever ces défis:

    One solution undertaken by SNCAC to the artists is proving technical support as well as financial support although its not enough  as a way of help implement the Convention.

    Again SNCAC arrange meeting (round table) with artists where they share discuss concerns and share skills.

    Other institution like the SNTC also provide human resourse to help artists in their work.

    Artists needs to be educated about the Convention and encouraged to apply for funding for their projects. This will a way of making them aware of the Convention as well as the benefits from it.

    Les étapes prévues pour les quatre prochaines années:

    1. Ensure all artists become members of the affiliate associations to ensure that all artists benefit and are protected from the Convention. This will make SNCAC aware of all teh artists, what they do, where they are, their challenges and how to assist them. 

    2. Conduct information, education and communication workshops for the various associations. This is meant to raise awareness about the 2005 Convention as well as develop the capacity of the artists and make them aware of their rights. In such meetings it is where other Conventions relating to them will be discussed like the Universal Copyright Convention which the country has not yet ratified.

    3. Local, regional and national workshop on awareness raising about the 2005 Convention

    4. Establishment of National Arts and Culture Day. This is planned so that artists are able to display their talent 

    5. Arts and Culture Indaba: This is where artists will display their skills as well as share knowledge and know how on certain elements of the 2005 Convention.

    c.3. La principale caractéristique de la mesure: 

    The Policy provides the framework for the promotion of art and culture for development and complies with international and regional instruments on culture. The core principles underlying this Policy are:

    3.1 Promoting Unity in Diversity

    Due to globalisation, there are diverse cultures in Swaziland. The Policy interventions shall therefore focus on the promotion of harmonious co-existence among the different communities and encourage intra and inter-cultural exchange.

    3.2 Respecting one’s and the others’ Culture

    Respect for culture is crucial for mutual interdependence, which is a prerequisite for social harmony and cohesion. The Policy interventions shall focus on advocacy for respect of the individuals’ culture and other cultures.

    3.3 Ensuring Social Inclusion

    There are some children, youth, women, the disabled, the elderly, and people living with HIV/AIDS who are marginalised by some socio-cultural practices. These include the shunning of widows in public and community events. The Policy interventions shall therefore focus on affirmative action to ensure that these categories of people participate in and benefit from cultural life.

    3.4 Promoting Cultural Change

    Culture is dynamic and cultural change is inevitable. Whilst certain elements of culture are to be preserved, it is important to catalyse change to address social and gender inequalities. The Policy interventions shall therefore encourage adapting and adopting to new ideas and approaches within the laws of Swaziland.

    3.5 Promoting Environmental Protection

    Cultural practitioners interact with and derive cultural products from the environment. Some elements of culture impact on the environment.  The environment is threatened by environmental degradation, which negatively impacts on culture activities that rely on the environment. The Policy interventions shall therefore emphasise environmental protection.

    3.6 Strengthening Partnerships

    There are various stakeholders in the delivery of cultural goods and services. It is therefore importa

    Culture is not static but dynamic and therefore it has to evolve with the people of Swaziland as they march in unison to the information and technology age.   This Art and Culture policy should provide a guide to enable the Swazi culture to evolve in a controlled direction.

    Specifically this Policy shall provide a framework to;

    1. Enhance the appreciation of the role of arts and culture in national development;
    2. Promote aspects of Swaziland’s cultural heritage that are cherished by its people;
    3. Ensure effective intra and inter-cultural exchange for harmonious coexistence;
    4. Facilitate community action against practices that impinge on human dignity;
    5. Guide, harmonise, complement and promote the distinct and complementary interventions and roles of stakeholders at all levels;
    6. Guide the private sector, traditional/cultural institutions and civil society organisations to research on and advocate for arts and culture promotion.
    7. Define the broad framework within which culture in Swaziland should be conceptualised.
    8. Enable government and other stakeholders to appreciate how they share responsibility for the creation of mechanisms and the mobilisation of resources that will facilitate the development and implementation of programmes for arts and cultural development.
    9. Identify structures and strategies that can provide a conducive environment for the preservation, promotion and presentation of the cultural heritage.

For SNCAC to succeed, progress made on each activity/target will be monitored and documented.

For example chapter 3 of the Swaziand's constitution aims at ensuring "Protection and Promotion og Fundamental Rights and Freedoms. Article 23 (1) of the Constitution ensures full possible expression on culture including fredom of religion and expression. the first constitution adopted after independence in Swaziland did not have a chapter on culture, however the current constitution promulgated in 2005 devotes chapter three on cultural matters that identify the nation and creates unity and peace hence several bills are yet to be drawn to facilitate implementation of issued to drive the sector. Several other parts of the constitution supports the development of culture.
