2. Justification de présélection

Quelles sont les raisons principales qui ont motivé la présélection de ce projet en comparaison avec d’autres propositions reçues par la Commission nationale pour l’UNESCO ?:

The proposal speaks to policy change. It aims to address poor legislation and ineffective policies in the music industry. This will therefore lead to structural change for the creative industries once it comes into effect. The projects also aim to assist musicians to adapt new innovative ways to produce and distribute their music. Research and mapping studies will be conducted to empower artists. The data collected will be a game changer for the industry and this came out quite strong in the application. The project aims to connect musicians in the continent and the diaspora. This will promote the mobility of artists and market access. The fact that artists learn how to generate/increase their own revenue stood out. The projects talks to empowering the artist and building capacity of the creatives in the sector. The project also has a data collection and mapping exercise linked to it which is very important to assist with policy changes and implementation.

Training/capacity building The project aims to identify the capacity development needs relating to the creation, production and distribution of cultural goods and services in the music industry through the data collected and developed. It will identify the areas that need to be developed both at the skills level and market strength including funding, policy and education. Transformation of the sector (Equality and market access) Participation in creation, productions and distribution of cultural goods and services is widened to previously excluded regions and social groups. The aim is to broaden the music industry beyond the major cities. Gender parity will also be addressed as the music industry is dominant by males and through the project; the aim is to get a 50-50 gender balance with regard to trainees of the various programmes on offer. Job creation The projects will also serve as a gateway for businesses to identify business opportunities and introduce new products for the Africa market, which will translate into an approved and more professional market, therefore creating more job opportunities.

5. Autres informations

Veuillez indiquer d’autres informations contextuelles que le Groupe d’experts du FIDC devrait prendre en considération lors de l’évaluation du projet.:

South Africa is currently in the process of reviewing its Copyright Act. The Copyright Amendment Bill seeks to align the country’s copyright regime with the digital era. The revision of this piece of legislation also a respond to issues raised by the cultural and creative sector and notably through the Music Industry Task Team (MITT) of 2001. The MITT indicated the need to revise the outdated 1978 Copyright Act and the 1967 Performers Protection Act so as to assist in addressing key challenges facing the music sector in particular. These challenges include the fact that musicians were dying poor and they had no sustainable income generating means. They also lack data and capacity building skills to manage their income and its hope that this projects, through its data collection, research and training elements, will be able to address some of these challenges faced by the music sector.

Résume bref du projet:

A project to provide data, capacity building and policy advocacy to enable south African musicians earn a more sustainable living from their music through development of more effective revenue models. It is planned as a pilot for a wider pan African project.

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. :

The policy advocacy strand will contribute to Outcome 1: A sustainable system of governance for culture that promotes the diversity of cultural expressions is created through targeting structural change. specifically, this is relevant to ER 1.1 Cross-sectoral cooperation in cultural policy making and implementation is demonstrated and ER 1.2 Processes and mechanisms of public policy making and implementation are strengthened. The project is also relevant to Outcome 3: The value and opportunities that cultural and creative industries contribute to sustainable development are clearly demonstrated to relevant authorities involved in national development planning. The relevant ER is Innovation and new business models are applied to creation, production, distribution and access to diverse cultural goods and services as well as ER 3.2 Critical capacity development needs relating to creation, production and distribution are assessed and addressed at appropriate levels

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 ? :

The proposal articulates the weak revenue models and identifies underlying causes for this including lack of data, weak capacity and weak policy sector knowledge and policy environment. The proposals also outline current government initiatives that are related to the development of the creative industries in the country. As it is a pilot, it focus on South Africa. Due to the ambitions of the project to scale up, it would have been good to see some broader information on the wider African context to show relevance in that area as well.

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

Indicators are clearly defined and targets for each outlined.

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 proposal does not specifically address these. The number of women artists targeted to benefit from the data and advocacy is lower than men and represents about 40% of targeted musicians perhaps reflective of the actual sector composition. There is gender balance in the workshops and the data processing teams. There is no specific reference to youth.

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 12 members of the team outlined have varied and relevant experience in music, cultural management and project and financial management with experience between 4 and 30 years. The organisation’s experience and objectives are relevant to the proposal. If they are to be awarded, they should consider enhancing the research capability within the team as it seems at the moment, that the research capacity specifically referenced seems insufficient for the research deliverables.

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

The activities demonstrate a keen understanding of the underlying issues leading to the problem. By beginning with research, the methodology will be evidence based and relevant to the context. The approach also provides tools and platforms and proposes to deploy technology which are relevant to the statement of the problem and the global context. The recognition of the role of policy and inclusion of advocacy also demonstrates understanding and is appropriate to the objectives.

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

The time frame seems realistic and consistent with the ambitions

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. Direct and indirect have been identified. The capacity building initiatives are relevant to their needs and the other planned activities are consistent with these needs. The scale of participation in the workshop is small compared to the scale of the wider sector and if awarded, activities for example online training should be considered to extend the reach of the capacity building initiatives.

Score:

3. GESTION ET RESPONSABILITÉ FINANCIÈRES

3.1 Le budget prévoit-il des ressources adéquates (salaires, honoraires, matériel, voyages, communication, etc.) nécessaires à la réussite du projet ? Si le budget a été surestimé ou sous-estimé, veuillez expliquer de quelle manière. :

Yes. Outlined budget seems comprehensive and reasonable.

3.2 Quelle part du budget est allouée aux activités du projet par rapport aux frais généraux ? Le budget semble-t-il adéquat et les frais généraux ont-ils été estimés conformément à la limite maximum de 30% du budget total du projet ? :

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 and the multi pronged approach will contribute to likely achievement of objectives.

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 main activities and budgets are relevant and appropriate and address the underlying issues relating to weak revenue streams,

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 creation of the platform, the data from research and the policy advocacy activities will contribute to long term benefits. As the project is designed as a pilot, it can also if scaled up contribute beyond a South African context to cultural industries of other countries.

4.4 Dans quelle mesure le projet démontre-t-il un potentiel de changement structurel (par exemple : changements dans l’environnement politique ; changements fondamentaux des structures organisationnelles publiques et professionnelles ; et changements dans la gestion du gouvernement et des autorités réglementaires) ? :

To a reasonable extent as the data produced will help businesses and governments potentially change their approaches to the industry using evidence based approaches.

Score:

5. DURABILITÉ

5.1 Dans quelle mesure des employés contractuels et des partenaires sont-ils impliqués dans la mise en œuvre des activités du projet ? Le rôle de chaque employé contractuel et/ou partenaire a-t-il été clairement décrit ?:

5.2 Comment le projet se rattache-t-il et/ou complète-t-il le travail déjà en cours dans le pays/la région en termes de politiques et/ou d’industries culturelles ? :

The proposal lists a number of government initiatives including a creative industries development framework, a government convened roundtable to develop a time bound road map for the industry etc and these are consistent with the objectives of the project as they all aim to develop growth in the sector through both micro and macro level interventions.

5.3 Quelles mesures/démarches sont proposées afin d’assurer une réponse aux impacts/bénéfices à long terme du projet?:

A business model which includes paid services and sponsorship has been outlined to ensure sustainability. The model needs to ensure that the free resources are sufficient to improve outcomes for artists who cannot afford the paid for services.

5.4 Quelles mesures/démarches sont proposées pour le suivi du projet avec ses bénéficiaires après son achèvement ? :

Ongoing campaigns, surveys and email updates.

Score:

Évaluation globale:

Overall, this is a strong application which is recommended for funding. It demonstrates an understanding of wider issues and hones in on a specific problem to tackle robustly. The use of multiple approaches to tackle the underlying problems will also contribute to ensuring the projects success in meeting the set objectives. A strong team is in place although more research capability in the team is recommended. The project will be about 70% cofunded by the organisation, giving good leverage for the IFCD funding requested. The partners identified bring a variety of relevant skills and the business model designed for sustainability seems well thought through and feasible.

Résumé de l'évaluation:

This project aims to provide data, capacity building and policy advocacy to enable South African musicians earn a living from their music through the development of more effective income models. It is planned as a pilot for a wider pan African project. The data developed in the project should facilitate a better understanding of the earning patterns of musicians and this will help to identify critical capacity areas that need to be developed both at skills level and market strength including funding, policy and training needs. Its focus on data collection, creating new business models, and building partnerships between the government, civil society and the private sector can lead to policy change as the project also has a strong advocacy component. The budget seems to provide for more than adequate resources. The total budget is $338 296 of which some co-funding is still to be made available, and the $100 000 requested from IFCD should be reduced by $8 000 as the salaries and fees section is somewhat overestimated. The activities address relevant concerns and are well designed for the implementation of the project’s objectives. The recognition of the role of policy and the inclusion of advocacy also demonstrate understanding of the issues involved. The partners identified bring a variety of relevant skills and the business model designed for sustainability seems feasible and well thought through.
