The Metis Fund: A Unique Initiative for Connecting Arts and Development
published in November 2021
Launched in 2021 by Agence Française de Développement (AFD), the Metis Fund promotes a better integration of the arts and culture in official development
assistance.
This financial framework allows artists in countries where AFD is active to invest in development projects supported by AFD. Metis targets artists who want to take part in these projects, who, while recognizing the technical aspects, can provide the additional emotional aspects that will render them all the more effective.
This brochure presents this ambitious initiatie and flagship projects.
