Challenges – FVTIA

Attitude. The attitude of many people in Government, public, the parents and the learners have continued to think that those joining film training are academically poor or can’t afford the vertical progression.
FVTIA home, for the last 4 years, FVTIA is still sharing offices with Kampala Film School we deserve to build or have our permanent home.
Running Costs, FVTIA currently depends entirely on the founders. It is important to note that we are supplementing the Governments efforts, to oversee and promote film and video training institutions for quality education of the cultural and creative sector in Uganda. We request the Government to consider us in their annual budgets. We are as good and important as the Ministry of Education.
FVTIA still needs to get a long-term funder to support its strategic plans to fulfill its long-term planned activities. There is need to strengthen its fund raising programme both locally and internationally to sustainably manage its planned activities/programs.
Inadequate funding has hampered FVTIA’s development plan (having a sustainable and equipped center). There is need to strengthen and diversify the funding to pay staff to facilitate the planned activities with motivated staff. This in the past has hampered the implementation of planned activities as many look for better opportunities elsewhere in the NGO sector.
