Participating countries are Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, Nigeria (Northern), Chad, Mali and Niger.

The mobility programme offers support for three types of tours:

• National (where musicians tour locally in their own countries).
• Regionally (across Africa).
• Internationally (Germany).

This call is for NATIONAL TOURS only.

The deadline for applications is 31 August 2017 (midnight CAT).
