National Arts Council of Namibia 

The government mandated the National Arts Council of Namibia (NACN), through the National Arts Fund (NAF) Act No 1 of 2005, which makes provision for the establishment of a Council to act as an advisory body to the Fund. The Council’s mandate, therefore, is to develop and support programmes and projects that will ensure the continued practice of all art forms in Namibia, to enrich and enhance the national heritage and above all unify all Namibians through arts practice. It is also mandated to advocate, promote, and develop the varying Namibian art forms on a wide scale, locally and internationally. Furthermore, the National Arts Council also has the duty to lead advocacy for the case of the arts, to establish the arts as a viable career and to build an effective creative industry in order to bring prosperity to the nation and alleviate poverty.
