74 Country-Specific Information — FUNDING — The Ministry of Culture is said to offer funding, but procedures and budgets are not clear and funds are poorly organized. Artists reportedly depend heavily on cooperation institutes, embassies and festival invitations to travel. Mauritanians are very little represented in AMA’s statistics, as in those of other funds in the region. — IMPEDIMENTS — Isolation: high costs of travel and lack of funding · Flight costs to / from Nouakchott are high. · Mauritanian cultural actors are not well connected to funding organizations. Conversely, international funding organizations have so far not made efforts to bolster mobility of Mauritanian cultural actors. · While Mauritanians are technically eligible for all major funds (AFAC, al-Mawred al-Thaqafy, RCF), its ambiguous status between North and West Africa may feed (potentially unconscious) exclusion from Arab / MENA-oriented initiatives. · The Ministry of Culture does not support travel of cultural actors. — M A U R I T A N I A — Algeria have done a disservice to its relations with Morocco, making visas to the Kingdom more difficult to obtain. Language · Not all Mauritanians speak English or French sufficiently to fill in funding applications in those languages and as such may feel intimidated. Lack of professionalization · Opportunities for professional artistic training and development are virtually nil in Mauritania. As such, artists do not necessarily have the skills or knowledge to search for funding, finance their careers, etc. They want to travel but they are stuck inside the country – they don’t understand cultural management. – Atigh Ould, founder and director of Festival Nomade, Nouakchott / Montreal* Visas · Mauritanian cultural actors must travel to Dakar to get visas to countries that do not have a diplomatic representation in Nouakchott. Many young people want to attend events in Europe and the USA; but it takes time, and if you don’t know the ambassador, it takes months. Even Morocco and Egypt are starting to get complicated as well. – Mohamed Idoumou, Poet, journalist, documentary filmmaker and cultural operator, Maison du cinéma de Nouakchott* · Mauritania’s neutral stance on the Western Sahara issue and diplomatic relations with

All our banks, all our construction companies are investing in Africa, especially West Africa. The king has a pro-African stance. There have been important regularization campaigns [for migrants from the South], as long as Europe isn’t applying pressure. » Amina Mourid Cultural operator, co-founder, Atelier Kissaria & Think Tanger* — FAST FACTS Population 35.74 million (World Bank, 2017) Surface area Capital Large cities Languages 710.085 km² Rabat Casablanca; Fès; Tangiers; Marrakech; Salé; Meknès ; Oujda; Kenitra; Agadir Modern Standard Arabic and Tamazight (official) Moroccan darija (spoken); French Dialling code +212 Currency Main international airports Rail network Visa requirements for Africans to enter Morocco African countries’ visa requirements for Moroccan nationals Moroccan dirham Casablanca – Mohammed V International Airport Marrakech Menara International Airport Agadir Al Massira International Airport Tangiers Ibn Battuta International Airport Office National des Chemins de Fer (ONCF); 2067 km Visa-free access for nationals of Algeria, Tunisia, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Niger and Senegal Electronic travel authorization required for nationals of Guinea, Mali and Republic of Congo Visa required for all other nationalites Visa-free access: Mali, Niger, Senegal, Gambia, Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Gabon, Mali, Seychelles and São Tomé e-Visa: Angola, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Guinea-Bissau, Kenya, Lesotho, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
