Résume bref du projet:

The purpose of the project is to identify cultural activities or industries that exist within the three selected districts, namely Maseru, Mokhotlong and Quthing. The identified activities and industries will then be put into a database that will assist the players within the industries with exposure in that they will then be easily accessible and visible. The database will have all the details of the individuals and groups within such industries inclusive of their full contact details. The project will then select individuals and groups from cultural industries related to music, dance, folklore and storytelling, visual arts and the audio visual component. These selected individuals and groups will be trained on the convention on the protection and promotion of diversity of cultural expressions, copyright and recently adopted regional arrangements on the registration of copyright. The participants will also be trained in their different trades, and also on how to package their works, either by themselves or in collaboration with others in order to make them appealing to a large majority of audiences including the youth. the project is intended to train 60 people during its subsistence. Following the training, the participant will be expected to produce works, packaged in the way that they were trained. These works will then be showcased on different platforms as a way of assisting them to get more exposure and also to help them to make careers out of their works.

Submitted by V_MARCOLIN on 31 oct 2022

Résume bref du projet:

The project aims at highlighting the potential of cultural and creative industries in 3 districts in Lesotho, beyond recreational activities a) by mapping those actors and creating a database, b) select part of them among several sectors representatives to offer trainings on the Convention itself and various market oriented skills, such as PR and marketing, trade, to make cultural contents and services attractive towards the large public but especially towards youth, c) showcase the productions of the actors involved in trainings through different platforms. Through a more strategic approach to cultural and creative industries in territories of different nature (urban, rural) and though envisioned partnerships with the public administration the applicant is willing to improve the CCIs ecosystem in Lesotho trough increased cross-sectoral partnerships and collaboration within the sectors. The project duration is 12 months.

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

The following IFCD outcomes are considered : innovation on business models (ER 3,1) to various creative industries value chains to further attract the attention on the for profit and market driven dimension of CCIs, compared to a more recreation oriented approach of the sectors. Innovative dissemination and promotion tools aims to be developed through the project (showcase, publicity actions, identification of popular e-platforms where creative works could be promoted...) (ER 3.2) Critical capacity development across the value chains through a mapping activity that would allow to identify potential gaps and needs in skills development that will serve the design of trainings and meetings; (ER 3.3) Increased participation in the production and distribution of cultural goods also towards previously excluded regions and groups by : differentiating the territories where the project will take place to study in urban areas how the youth could be further implicated in the creative sectors, in rural areas, how local cultural expressions could go beyond cultural participation and be further market oriented, and in territories with minorities our those excluded groups could be provided with tools to share their cultural expressions with the larger population. The project also takes into consideration gender equality issues, by specific indicators in the planned data collection on CCIs and analyzing challenges faced by women in the creative industries and sectors.

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 ? :

Based on the short context description provided in the application, 3 main challenges are identified and therefore addressed by the project : a) the absence of a database on cultural actors in Lesotho and the limited knowledge of cultural actors on copyright issues; b) the traditional approach to cultural activities as a recreational space for the population rather than a strategic ecosystem; c) youth seems to be disconnected from this strategic approach and consumption of local contents while d) the cooperation between the creative sectors and other stakeholders is also less developed than it could be. Those assumptions are not corroborated by relevant source of information other than the applicant's one, or by focus groups; this would have helped strengthen the pertinence of the project approach.

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

The projects is organized around 4 objectives, while their formulation is rather "action oriented" and therefore less specific and measurable (eg : conduct an exercice of identifying and documenting / developing database of individuals and groups involved in the cultural sectors; rather than "Strengthening the knowledge and information available on the cultural and creative industries structure in Lesotho through a mapping and the design of a database".

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

The applicant missions are aligned with the project priorities. Its establishment was in 2018; the applicant activities consider the importance of partnering with other organisations and the importance of new technologies to connect Lesotho to national and international markets. The description of the project staff is very limited, although individuals are already identified for the 5 profiles foreseen to implement the project. Given the rather newly establishment of the applicant, further details on the project staff members experience, skills and competences would have secured further the capacity of the applicant's organisation to implement the work plan.

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

While the application project description is pertinent based on the context analysis provided, the activities description focus more on micro-activities (sub-activities), such as "engagement ofd a project coordinator, .. travel to districts for meetings, consolidation of information and inputting the data..."; when the activities are more relevant (eg: development of a database, advertising the project on various platforms, formulation of strategies...) their description and methodology is not directly provided by the applicant. For example it is not clear how the strategies formulated to engage a diverse range of stakeholders and policymakers (outputs 4.1 and 4.2) will be elaborated, by whom, through which tools and sub-activities etc.

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

The planning appears not realistic especially for outputs 3 and 4, given the changes that have to be generated in the local context, that are among the perception changes researched by the applicant on the market driven potential of CCIs. Raise awareness on this topic alone, beyond a mapping request a certain time.

There has been no clear distinction on the direct beneficiaries per activity, as beneficiaries may change according to the expected outputs and related activities. The same direct beneficiaries are presented for all the activities, namely 45 people involved in cultural expressions, 15 par district involved in the project (3 districts in total). The same issue concern indirect beneficiaries that focus solely on "other cultural expression practitioners" others than the direct beneficiaries, while the applicant aims to involve other sector representatives, public administrations etc

3. GESTION ET RESPONSABILITÉ FINANCIÈRES

The overall budget is 103610 dollars mainly concentrated on Human Resources (50 700 dollars) and other costs (39 150 dollars). Other costs include for example the development of a database, the development and duplication of training materials, accommodations, formulations of strategies. Salaries seem in compliance with the average monthly salary in the country, the costs of trainers seem underestimated given the number of actors to be trained and the different territories involved, while comparing the costs with the staff ones; promotional materials related to showcase the contents of the actors trained also appear underestimated while this is one of the key expected outputs of the project, as well as the elaboration of strategies, for which no costs are provided. If they are planned to be developed by the project staff or through other in kind contributions of the applicant this could have been introduced in the budget description.

The overhead costs are very limited : 1800 dollars.

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 ? :

The additional co-funding elevates at 3650 dollars; it represents the applicant's contribution in cash.

3.4 Quelles sont les actions prévues pour assurer la responsabilité financière (par exemple, l’implication d’un directeur financier) ? :

The applicant plans to hire a financial officer for the project. An auditor will also be hired.

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?:

The outputs are in general coherent with the project background and description, however their formulation could have been improved and further accompanied by quantitative and qualitative indicators. In some cases the outputs relate more to activities than expected results (eg : identifying the types of cultural industries within 3 areas and the different players for output 1.1; this output could have presented as follows: "a mapping on the creative sectors is realized in 3 districts, based on sectors and actors data collection and analysis"). While it is planned that the training contents will be informed by the project, some topics, such as awareness raising on the convention or copyright have already been identified by the applicant and those training could have been introduced in the outputs description. There is also no clear background provided to several outputs on how they will be achieved in summery, also in relation to the activity description.

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 actives and the budget are in general relevant, although the lack of description on each activity organization and methodology does not allow to secure that the budget costs are appropriate to achieve the outputs and deliverable expected by the project. In particular for outputs 4.1 and 4.2 the main activities are not detailed (activities 4,2,1 and 4,1,1 simply restate the expected outputs : "formulation of strategies".

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 ?:

Some of the activities planned could have a long term impact on the country and districted involved if the mapping methodology is well structured, as the mapping could facilitate new cooperation among actors and sectors. However compared to the project description in the main application, the logic framework is still too broad and do not secure informations that could lead to long terms impact of the project, despite its potential. In addition, there is no evidence on the trainings structure that would secure their concrete contribution in improving market driven strategies for cultural actors and their incomes, as well as an increased participation of youth and minorities in Lesotho creative economy.

While structural change in the creative sectors ecosystem is one of the key objectives and concern of the project, and while the choice of three districts based on their specificities secure the inclusive dimension of the projects towards different groups of the population active in the production and dissemination of creative expressions, the methodologies and measures through which policy dialogue would be built are not clear. Parallely, if the set up of a mapping tool could lead to a structural change on the perception of the sectors contributions to different areas of Lesotho development, there are not enough informations on the activities and profiles of the persons involved in the project to secure that this would be achieved considering international standards and results.

5. DURABILITÉ

The applicant considers partnership development a key area of its work; however no clear partners are proposed for this project, even though it is mentioned that contact with the Ministry in charge of culture will be taken for the project implementation for instance. The involvement of public administrations (national, local) is a key element for the project success, given its objectives that include improvements on policies and measures for culture thanks to the information gathered through the project. Similarly, the project highlights the importance of cross-sectors cooperation, but there is no predetermined strategy by the applicant in the application. Contractors beyond the project staff are not clearly identified apart for the system developer and the data collector (whose experience is very limited, 1 year).

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 applicant mentioned the Lesotho Copyright Society of Authors and artists as a potential partner to engage with based on the results of the mapping, also to promote the union services towards the actors identified by the mapping. The African regional Intellectual property Organisation is also mentioned in relation to the adoption of a Protocol on voluntary registration of copyright and related rights whose objectives could be further promoted in Lesotho because of its recent adoption (2021). There are no references on other cultural policies and measures or programmes existing in Lesotho on creative industries, including though and by international partners.

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

The measures to ensure the project long-term impact are unfortunately very limited given the importance that the IFCD provide to structural change. They concern the elaboration of strategies based on the needs and gaps that would emerge through the project, without further clarification on the nature of those needs and gaps.

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

Beneficiaries involved in the project would be invited to engage with the other regular activities of the applicant. Trainees in the programme could become capacity builders in the future (although the training description does not allow to secure this statement as the perimeter and contents of the training are not clear).

Score:

Évaluation globale:

The project addresses important aspects of a balanced and conducive governance for culture in one country, notably the need to highlight and support different dimension of cultural expressions, including their market driven aspects for which the need of data and know-how on the actors involved in the field are key. It also identify important topics for cultural operators such as copyright. However the logic framework of the project is still at an early stage of development and needs to be further detailed in terms of a clear distinction between objectives/outputs/activities, improved description of each output and activities; the partnership strategy is also lacking and seems necessary to achieve the objectives of the project, also based on arguments provided by the applicant. The project team selection and description may need to be revised to secure relevant experience to menage the activities foreseen with proven expertise and knowledge, in order to secure the concrete results and long term impact of the work plan.
