Mmino, the South African – Norwegian music education and exchange project, has since its inception in 2000, been the only funding organisation in South Africa that solely funds music projects; fact that automatically led to high expectations from the music community. In the past eight years, Mmino, even with its limited budget, has been able to fund 230 projects and/or individuals located all over South Africa, as well as some outstanding exchanges with Norwegian artists and institutions.

The Mmino Project is linked to the NAC, but has a separate budget and funding procedures, and works in partnership with the Norwegian Rikskonsertene
.
Because the agreement between the NAC and the Norwegian Government regarding the Mmino Project expired per 31 December 2007, a formal submission of request for continuation was made by the NAC. Subsequently, a review of Mmino was conducted. The outcomes of the review were very positive and also stressed the need for further funding of the South African musical landscape.

The NAC is proud and grateful to announce that the Norwegian Government has decided to continue to Mmino Project for a further three years and that the Department of Arts and Culture will also come on board.

More details will follow within the next few weeks when Mmino will officially open a funding session.
