Between 2020 and 2023, the first phase of Accès Culture, which Prospective and Cooperation was already part of, supported 92 projects, including 76 annual and 16 tri-annual projects, led by pairs of African and French participants. Following this first session, having fulfilled its objectives with positive results, notably among the target audiences, the renewal of Accès Culture for a second session was announced in October 2021 during the New Africa-France Summit in Montpellier. This started with the launch of a call for projects last February which allowed for the selection of 30 three-year projects across the 54 African countries.

Accès Culture is a support system for African cultural actors that has been led by the Institut français and funded by the French Development Agency (AFD) since 2020. It aims to support cultural projects headed by pairs of African and French participants, with the goal of fostering social ties and strengthening collaborations between actors.
The objective of the programme is to bring culture closer to those populations that are distant from it for economic, social, geographical, gender or disability reasons.
