US Embassy Nairobi Film Fupi Academy Program for Young Aspiring Filmmakers 2024

US Embassy Nairobi has partnered with Youth Film Platform to launch the Inaugural Film Fupi Academy program for young aspiring filmmakers. The Program will empower 30 aspiring filmmakers drawn from Eastlands-Nairobi County with practical and professional skills in filmmaking for income generation and social self-expression. Film Fupi Academy program will provide a hands-on film-making learning experience that builds participants’ exposure to the wide variety of technical and professional skills they will need to write, produce, shoot, and edit quality short films featuring effects makeup. This will expand Kenya’s creative economic development, foster inclusive societies, and provide financial security to Kenyans. The program is expected to run for 12 months from November 2023 – November 2024

The rapidly growing film industry is a great trigger for job creation and medium for economic gain worldwide. The African film industry has great potential that can further be tapped for social economic development. Africa boasts of successful creative industries in some countries including: Nigeria, South Africa and Morocco. Kenya in particular has a small film industry by global standards, but the country has been a filming location since early 1950s. The films made in the country propel Kenyan culture and stories on the global platform. The government has made conscious efforts to develop Kenya creative industry. There however been few film making capacity development programs. There is need therefore, to unveil the talent especially in youth by building their capacity through hands-on and talent based training and giving them a platform for social-self-expression; telling the Kenyan Story and most importantly for income generation.

According to the Kenya 2019 population census report, over a half of Kenya’s population comprises of youth below 20 years. Few of them are involved in making decisions that affect their lives, desires, interests and future. Similarly, to excel in today’s fast-moving world, takes special skills to rise above the rest. This requires ability to concentrate, conceptualize, connect and synthesize information to arrive at an innovation.

This is best realized through creative arts, besides other initiatives, where youth, among other people can be molded and actively involved. This will ensure that their opinions are heard and respected through filmmaking.

Film Fupi Academy is an initiative that works towards ameliorating skills deficiency in the film industry. This intensive twelve (12) months hands-on Program is designed to familiarize participants with: cinematic language and filmmaking techniques through a series of collaborative assignments including exploration of a variety of film production specialisms; writing and directing to cinematography; composing, production design and editing. The program will also conduct a specialized film make up classes facilitated by one of Kenya’s finest make-up artist. In order to take the quality of Kenyan Films to the next level, there is also a need for specialized make up skills that contribute greatly to artistic look of the characters in a film. Each of the program beneficiaries will take a compulsory module of make up for film.

The program will provide participants with an opportunity to benchmark with some of the best film makers locally, regionally and globally. The intense and hands on Program will provide a platform to identify and nurture creative talents; and to promote film creation in Eastlands- Nairobi County as a means of job creation for the youth. The Program will also provide intense training in various film making and production techniques to ensure participants acquire requisite skills and a range of cinematic practices. The Program is intended to enhance competencies, innovativeness and creativity; and to address technical skills development in film production. This will be done by incorporating technology to meet the demands of the current film job market and anticipated continued influence of the digital age in the film industry. Participants will get the opportunity to tap their creative art talents, gain practical experience in film production and popularize the industry for job creation especially for the youth currently left out of film training programs that are academic based.

The Film Industry encompasses many other arts including Writing, Design, Photography, Make-up, Hairstyling, Drawing, performing arts, sound recording and design , editing just to name but a few. A variety of ancillary services are also provided in the process including Catering, location scouting, casting agencies, film festival and markets among others. The Program will expose learners to all these facets of Film Production and the wide range of opportunities available in the creative arts Industry.

Mercy Corps Ventures Climate Tech Facility (Up to $100,00 Equity-free Grants) 2023

On 22, September 2023, Mercy Corps Ventures’ Climate Lab launched its Climate Tech Facility to source pilot partners innovating in climate.

The objective of the Climate Tech Facility is to deploy innovative technologies for climate resilience in emerging markets through a series of pilots. By partnering with impactful, early-stage ventures working on climate-tech, Mercy Corps Ventures aims to build an evidence base to improve the scalability of innovative technological solutions to combat the climate crisis.

The Climate Tech Facility is a grant facility managed by MCV’s Climate Venture Lab, which will run multiple calls for proposal per year with different focus areas under the Resilient Future Thesis. The Climate Tech Facility will provide equity-free grants up to $100,00 to eligible partners. In addition to capital, MCV Climate Venture Lab will also provide mentorship, impact measurement advisory, access to partnership opportunities, knowledge exchange, and brand exposure.

The objective of the Facility is to pilot and generate insights from up to ten innovative climate technologies in selected geographies, in order to improve resilience for low-income populations. From this, the Facility will generate important evidence and insights to support the scale of these solutions to more users, and/or apply them in other applicable contexts. The Facility seeks to:

  • Identify innovative technological solutions localized for emerging markets
  • Develop robust impact evidence and pathways to scalability
  • Share insights openly to de-risk new capital and crowd in new funders

 

Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible to apply, applicants must meet the following criteria:

  • Be a small and growing startup or organization building climate tech
  • Have active users and revenue (users and revenue from any products or services offered by the startup or organization) in at least one eligible country.
  • Be an entity registered and operating in the country of pilot implementation (whether domestic or internationally-owned or a joint venture). In cases where responsibility for service delivery lies with a downstream partner, rather than the applicant (for example service delivery by a local government), it may be acceptable for the applicant to be registered in a country other than that of pilot implementation.
  • Be fully compliant with relevant business licensing, taxation, employee and other regulations in all applicable countries of grant pilot operation.
  • Be registered and have a bank account in the country where they will receive the grant money (if not the same as the pilot implementation country).
  • Be an eligible entity and demonstrate that a majority of their income is derived from commercial activities. Early-stage companies who have not reached this threshold will need to demonstrate a reliable path to sustainability via commercial activities that generate revenue to be considered.
  • Startups must allocate significant resources to demonstrate commitment and signal the strategic importance of the pilot opportunity.
  • Only one startup or organization can apply for funding and become a pilot delivery partner. Applicants are encouraged to have downstream partners to support implementation. In the case of government entities being grant pilot partners, they cannot be a sub-recipient of the grant.

Offered Benefits

  • Up to $100,00 Equity-free Grants
