Four disciplines.
One geography.
We build the case.
You secure the funds.
From eligibility diagnosis to post-award management, we design and deliver funding applications for European and international programmes rooted in field experience across island territories, East Africa, and the Indian Ocean.
Territories with potential.
Strategies that hold.
We accompany territories, institutions, and organisations in designing development strategies where culture, agriculture, and innovation serve as engines of economic growth.
Practice structured.
Reach extended.
We support artists and artisans from island territories, the Indian Ocean, and Africa in structuring their practice, securing funding, and accessing international networks.
Not folklore.
Not souvenirs.
Africa and the island world have extraordinary craft traditions with no equivalent framework to certify, transmit, and commercialise them at the level they deserve.
“Japan has its Living National Treasures. France has its Maîtres d’Art. Africa has what neither has — and the world is only beginning to understand it.”
Mabamaore was born from a conviction: that island territories hold extraordinary potential for economic development through culture, craft, and innovation.
From Mayotte to the Swahili Coast, island communities share common challenges — and uncommon strengths: rich heritage, unique biodiversity, resilient populations, and strategic positioning.

Mabamaore is a project engineering and economic development agency working at the intersection of culture, agriculture, and innovation. We design projects, secure funding, and build sustainable economic models for territories, institutions, artists, and entrepreneurs.
We operate across European structural funds (Interreg, FEDER, FSE+), cultural programmes (Creative Europe, ACP-EU Culture), and international instruments (UNESCO, Horizon Europe) — with field experience from Mayotte, Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar, Mozambique, and the Comoros.
