Décrivez les principales caractéristiques de la politique/mesure: 

The main aim to the implementation of the Post COVID-19 Action Plan 2020 for the Creative and Heritage Sectors is to mitigate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and to stimulate the artistic, creative and cultural industries. The Action Plan would cater for the immediate needs of different players in the artistic field through the use of modern technology and digital platforms for the implementation of innovative projects.

Most measures are expected to be valid for a period of six (6) months. Some of the measures include the recording of full length plays (theatre) and other performances, to be held behind closed doors and broadcast on the National TV and digital platforms.

Some other measures include compilation of short stories that will be published in the form of a Corona Virus anthology in an e-book format, the organization of online storytelling, purchase of artworks and support to local authors through the purchase of books (local authors).

All these support schemes have as main objective to ensure income for artists and cultural professionals during difficult times. Besides addressing the economic aspect, some measures also put forward creativity as a form of resilience, for instance, via the establishment of a Street Arts Project and a virtual network introducing artists and culture.

Parastatals operating under the aegis of the Ministry of Arts and Cultural Heritage such as the Conservatoire National de Musique Francois Mitterrand, National Art Gallery, Nelson Mandela Centre for African Culture have adopted the digital means to continue with their activities.
