Music In Africa Gender @ Work is a three-year training programme aimed at upskilling and increasing the participation of female professionals in the African music sector. Launched by the Music In Africa Foundation (MIAF) in April 2019, the programme is connected to the MIAF’s ACCES music conference – a pan-African event held in a different African country every year. This connection enables the programme to reach new participants in a different African country every year. The programme marks the beginning of a more concerted effort by the Foundation to support the participation and inclusion of women in all facets of its programmes and the music sector in Africa as a whole. Over the three years, the programme will aim to address gender imbalances in the sector through training, lobbying, facilitating knowledge exchange and dialogues that foster the interest of women. The broader objectives of the programme are to: Provide industry training for women on critical music industry skills, focusing on: Stage management Electronic music production and recording Music business management Technical knowledge Provide an opportunity for both professional and aspiring women to benefit from the Music In Africa network and its broad range of activities in 2019, 2020 and 2021. Provide a solution-based platform in the form of a round table at ACCES with a view to identify challenges, discuss opportunities and lobby for the interests of female practitioners. Offer participants the opportunity to benefit from programmes offered by MIAF’s partners. Increase access to educational materials. Integrate participants in the broader ACCES programme to maximise experience and exposure to the industry. Record and present training materials on the www.musicinafrica.net, including but not limited to tutorials, templates and other best-practice materials. Communicate women-based themes that support the initiatives and messages of the programme.

For cultural and creative practitioners and organisations operating in southern Africa, access to funding remains a major challenge. The COVID-19 pandemic has also had a massive impact on government policy, spending and the economy in general, and has seen spending on culture being moved further down the list of priorities. Further, the cultural and creative industries repeatedly cite four main areas where investment is needed for growth, which are increased visibility, mobility including access to new markets, finance and support structures.

BIO

Jay Moe is one of Tanzania's most popular and respected artists in the bongo flava scene. He started in the field of music in 1999 with his own group called Sewer Celibacy. They won the Star Search contest and quickly got a record deal with P Funk's legendary Bongo Records label, performing as Wateule group.

In 2001 Jay Moe started a new phase with Bongo Records; this time as a solo artist. His first solo album, 'Ndio Mama' (2000), featured many popular tracks including 'Mvua na Jua', 'Bishoo' and 'Kama Unataka Dem'.

His next album 'Mawazo ya Jay Moe' (2004) took Jay Moe to new heights, with singles like 'Cheza kwa Step', 'Kasimama Peke Yake' and 'Twende kwa Mganga'. In 2005 he released the single 'Kimyakimya', which was played on rotation for many months on radio stations throughout Tanzania and East Africa.

Late in 2007, Jay Moe released the third album, 'Moe Commentary', containing another hit, 'Hadithi Tatu Tofauti'. A talented performer as well as a hard-working singer-songwriter, Jay Moe remains well-known across the East African region and has toured throughout Tanzania, Kenya, and Uganda.
