The Pan-African Composers’ and Songwriters’ Alliance

The Pan-African Composers’ and Songwriters’ Alliance (PACSA) is an organisation in Johannesburg, South Africa, that lobbies for the interests of composers and songwriters.

PACSA was founded by 25 associations of music composers and songwriters at a meeting in Dakar, Senegal, in 2010. The organisation represents 35 member associations with 16 500 composers and songwriters across the continent. In 2014, PACSA partnered with CISAC to help review and compare the copyright situation in 40 different African nations.
