Performers from Tanzania, Ethiopia and Ghana have helped launch a five-year project to try to secure more funding for arts and culture, aiming to persuade African governments to allocate at least 1 percent of their budgets.
The project, called Connect for Culture Africa (CfCA) has been started by the African Union in collaboration with Selam Ethiopia, a non-governmental organisation that uses film, music and circus performances to address issues such as women rights.
