Risultati fasi precedenti:   Switzerland is an important player in the cultural sector in Mozambique. One of SDC's main partners (16NetO) was able to establish itself in Maputo as a key actor in the promotion of young artists, and also successfully manages Maputo Fast Forward (MFF), an international cultural festival initiated by a previous SDC partner. The SDC also successfully supported art education and cultural initiatives in the conflict-ridden province of Cabo Delgado. These interventions have been very well received. There is a strong demand for their expansion.
In general, the importance of long-term partnerships for organisations to grow, become stable and professional has been confirmed.
Young people are looking for spaces for creative expression and dialogue.
A high potential for using culture and arts to promote social cohesion and peace was identified. Vulnerable groups and IDPs in Cabo Delgado are very responsive to cultural activities.
