Résume bref du projet:

The project offers cultural exchange activities between Brazil and Egypt's contemporary electronic and digital art scene and conduct a series of innovative, creative and collaborative digital art activities (an international new media art residency comprised of 8 new media artists selected from Egypt, the Global South (Latin America & North Africa) a series of capacity-building and knowledge transfer workshops, a new media art exhibition – to promote the new creations and productions born from the residency and workshops and to launch a digital online platform to enhance promotional mechanisms, guarantee greater visibility of artists' activities, goods, services and support South-North future collaborations. The projectis lead by women yet offers its services to both men and women.

1. PERTINENCE ET ADÉQUATION DU PROJET AUX OBJECTIFS STRATÉGIQUES ET DOMAINES D'INTERVENTION DU FIDC

1.1 Veuillez décrire comment les objectifs et impacts/ bénéfices à long terme du projet correspondent à, au moins, l’un des objectifs stratégiques du FIDC et ses effets escomptés associés. :

ER 2.1. Policy, advocacy and promotional mechanisms are in place to improve access to local, national or global markets for cultural goods and services ER 2.2. Networks and initiatives, with a focus on North-South-South cooperation, that support and facilitate the mobility of artists and cultural professionals from the global South. As per outcome 4, the proposal makes the case that it is aligned with outcome 4: E 4.1 and E 4.2. However, I feel that the focus on women is overlooked throughout the project.

1.2 Comment les objectifs de cette proposition répondent-ils aux besoins et priorités actuels du pays/ de la région en termes de politiques culturelles et/ou d’industries culturelles ? :

Well, yes in the case of digital creative industries. Unclear as per women and digital creative industries. Again, even the background does not outline the principal challenges that face women artists in Egypt.

1.3 Dans quelle mesure les objectifs du projet sont-ils spécifiques et mesurables ?:

The objectives are very clear, concise and measurable.

1.4 Dans quelle mesure le projet contribue-t-il à la promotion de l’égalité des genres, à l’autonomisation des jeunes, à la coopération Sud-Sud et Nord-Sud-Sud et/ou à la participation de divers groupes sociaux dans le cadre des domaines d’intervention du FIDC ? :

The project fosters south – south cooperation. I cannot see how the project will contribute to the promotion of gender equality specifically

Score:

2. FAISABILITÉ DU PROJET, AINSI QUE LA PERTINENCE ET L'EFFICACITÉ DE SES MODALITÉS D'EXÉCUTION

2.1 Quels éléments démontrent la capacité organisationnelle du demandeur (principales activités de l’institution/organisation) et sa compétence (qualifications et expérience du personnel) à mettre en œuvre le plan de travail et à gérer le budget ?:

The main applicant is a strong organization and the staff suggested is quite strong and well qualified as well.

2.2 Dans quelle mesure les activités répondent-elles aux questions pertinentes ? Veuillez expliquer comment la méthodologie est appropriée à la réalisation des objectifs ? :

I find the activities relevant to south south cross-cultural collaboration in the form of an international new media art residency comprised of 8 new media artists selected from Egypt, the Global South (Latin America) and also on the level of capacity building in the digital creative industries. I still miss the focus on women.

2.3 Dans quelle mesure le calendrier est-il réaliste et cohérent avec les activités ?:

To a large extents

2.4 Les bénéficiaires directs et indirects du projet ont-ils été clairement identifiés ? Dans quelle mesure les activités sont-elles pertinentes pour les bénéficiaires ciblés et répondent-elles à leurs besoins ? :

Yes they have been clearly identified, I believe that the outputs and activities are relevant to them. The particularity of female artists is altogether not addressed.

Score:

3. GESTION ET RESPONSABILITÉ FINANCIÈRES

3.1 Does the budget provide for adequate resources (salaries, fees, equipment, travel, communication, etc.) necessary for success of the project? If the budget has been overestimated or underestimated, please explain how.:

Yes it does. The budget seems in line with the proposed activities.

3.2 What proportion of the budget is allocated to project activities versus overhead costs? Does the budget seem adequate and overhead costs estimated in compliance with the limit to a maximum of 30% of the total project budget?:

Salaries are 36 % of the total budget requested. Overheads is 7.7 %. Total is: 43.7 % of total budget.

3.3 La proposition de projet indique-t-elle des contributions financières supplémentaires au projet, telles que des co-financements et/ou de l’auto-financement ? :

Less than 5000 $ of total cost. In shape of in kind contribution.

The proposal suggests that an accountant will work on set yet this is not reflected in the budget. No mention of audit. An admin and finance officer will oversee the whole financial process.

Score :

4. EFFICACITÉ DES RÉSULTATS ET LIVRABLES DU PROJET

4.1 Les résultats et/ou livrables du projet sont-ils concrets, mesurables et réalistes ? Dans quelle mesure permettront-ils d’atteindre les objectifs du projet?:

Yes they are. They are likely to achieve the objectives bearing in mind that none of the objectives is women specific.

4.2 Dans quelle mesure les activités principales et le budget sont-ils pertinents et adaptés à la réalisation des résultats et/ou livrables énoncés ?:

The proposed activities are clear and direct. The budget lines are detailed. Both seem appropriate to achieving the intended outputs.

4.3 Dans quelle mesure est-il prévu que ce projet ait un impact ou des bénéfices à long terme sur les politiques culturelles et/ou les industries culturelles du pays/ de la région ?:

The project is a collaborative one between brazil and Egypt yet most of the activities of the project will be implemented in Egypt. The projects aim to create a database of existing digital artists. This is really important and stands at the foundation of any expected policy work. The project will also give an opportunity for various non-artistic communities to gain awareness and be engaged allowing for possible future policy change.

4.4 To what extent does the project demonstrate potential for structural change (for example: changes in the policy environment; far-reaching changes in public and professional organizational structures; and changes in the way government and regulatory authorities do business)?:

The project can raise awareness to the need to develop the DCIs in Egypt which might lead to some policy change (though the security situation in Egypt might not allow for it now).

Score:

The project complements other activities implemented by cultural civil society in Egypt. However, there is virtually no dialogue now between civil society and the government in the country.

Capacity-building at individual level with artists – in terms of technical know-how as well as mentorship support, advisory support, connection to local art organizations interested in continuing to give them a platform Start to building a community – led by a local established and strong NGO that can continue the work after that Supporting the artists and emerging community by informing and involving a number of strategic local, regional and global partners Starting to build an online platform – as a promotional tool for artists and means for them to gain visibility online and at international level

Score:

Évaluation globale:

The project is well designed and has potential to identify and help Egyptian artists to be known and to participate in international networks. However, it is important to remember that the call for the U40 empowerment program is aimed to support women under 40 who are cultural entrepreneurs working in digital creative industries, which is not sufficiently emphasized in the project and into the different point that must be described in the application form. On the other hand, the applicant is a strong and well Latin-America-positioned NGO, and its staff has the competences to implement the project. However, in the project it is not perceived that the Brazilian NGO has already built all the solid relationships that are necessary and will allow to fully develop these strengths in Egypt. Based on that, the project is not recommended for funding by the IFCD/U40 Empowerment program.
