Who we are
The Creative Industries Initiative for Africa (CIIFA) is a Lagos company that builds practical things for creative people: a home (the SafeHouse), programmes that teach the business of creativity, and events where talent meets opportunity. We are a business, not a charity, and we measure ourselves by what we deliver.
The numbers so far
12,000+ creatives trained across Nigeria with Google.org. 1,800+ professionals developed through the Music Business Academy. 30+ creative startups supported with the British Council. 50+ talents taken from discovery to career-ready. Programmes delivered with the French Embassy, SACEM and more.
The foundation we build with
The Creative Talent Foundation (CTF) develops Africa's creative talent through patient, mission-first programmes; CIIFA designs and runs the engine behind them. CBA for Africa, our creative business school, is a CTF programme executed by CIIFA.
