Mimeta boasts an extensive global network of art and cultural organizations within the civil sector. Below, we highlight a selection of 26 organizations supported through our sector development program over the years, primarily funded by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We have collaborated with many of these organizations for several years.

Many of these organizations act as intermediaries, reallocating funds to their partners and other organizations involved in implementing projects (like the Abbara Program of Culture Resource in Middle East and North-Africa), or to individuals seeking fellowships, travel support, capacity building, and more. For instance, in 2023, the 9 organizations Mimeta supported assisted 545 other organizations in their work, and their training and capacity-building programs benefited 1,575 professionals. Another illustration is from 2011. Mimeta was involved in 20 projects, with branches in 37 countries.

Additionally, we have participated in various time-limited projects, which are not listed here. Nevertheless, we extend our gratitude to everyone involved for their outstanding efforts.
