Youssou Ndour Foundation for Cultural and Creative Industries

Our vision is a world in which tolerance, dialogue and mutual understanding are strengthened through cultural creation and sharing; a world in which the vast potential of CCIs is a vector of opportunities with and for youth in Africa and around the world; a world in which CCIs accelerate the invention of modes of creation, production and consumption in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Foundation's mission is to spark, decompartmentalise, stimulate and catalyse initiatives, actions and projects to build fairer, more open and more sustainable societies. In September 2022, FYNICC began developing its Strategic Plan with a 10-year vision: to help convert 100,000 informal jobs into formal jobs. It will determine the financial, material and human resources needed and establish key performance indicators. The strategic plan will be presented publicly at the Dakar Forum in May 2023. The 4 axes of intervention are: Axis 1: Dialogue & Advocacy Axis 2: Co-creation Axis 3: Accompaniment & entrepreneurship Axis 4: Dissemination & production
