Finance, Administration and Risk Management The festival budget will be managed through UNISA-SBLF administration and reporting mechanisms. Risk management systems will be in place to ensure that the organisation's exposure to financial or safety concerns are minimised. Evaluation A comprehensive evaluation study that enables benchmarking with similar previous editions of the festival and other South African festivals will be commissioned. FESTIVAL CO-ORDINATOR BRIEF The Festival Co-ordinator will play a pivotal role in ensuring the efficient and effective planning and delivery of the 2024 Festival. Reporting to the Festival Director, whilst also working closely with the Creative Director, Head of Programming & Producing and the wider Festival team, the Festival Co-ordinator requires a flexible yet methodical approach with a 'can do' attitude. An ability to absorb information quickly, integrate into an existing team and organisational culture, and work with established systems and processes to ensure a joined-up approach is essential. Communication skills - both written and verbal - are key, along with an ability to maintain the big picture as well as retaining an eye for detail. The role demands an energetic and enthusiastic personality who thrives on challenging circumstances, demanding tasks, and long days. Good local knowledge is essential, as is an ability to work with a good degree of independence and responsibility whilst keeping in touch with the wider team. A passion for and understanding of outdoor arts festivals, site-specific events and newly commissioned projects is a distinct advantage.

Background In 2020, The UNISA-SBL Festivals (Pty) Lid (UNISA-SBLF) produced GPIF: Gauteng Province International Festival for the first time to great media and public acclaim. This pilot Festival was developed in response to a pressure group of Gauteng Province Arts Enthusiasts (GPAE)'s ambition to stimulate the level of investment in the arts in the Gauteng Province. The funding acted as a catalyst to draw in a range of other public and private sector partners and enabled the festival to deliver a multi-site, mixed art form festival taking place, over 10 extraordinary days, with an audience reach more than 90,000. Following the success of the 2020 pilot, the Gauteng Province Arts Enthusiasts agreed to fund future Festivals every after three years reflecting an ambition for it to become a landmark event in the South African calendar. The GPAE has indicated its agreement for National Portfolio Organisation (NPO) funding for the 2024 edition of the festival, however this is subject to the completion of the NPO agreement and its terms In 2020 the festival presented over 280 artists across multiple 'found' sites in some 165 performances - 68% of events free to attend - engaging an audience of around 500,000. In 2015 (June), the Standard Bank Joy of Jazz attracted a crowd of around 20 000 people to several venues around Johannesburg's Newtown Cultural Precinct within Page 1 of BTo ensure the project is delivered at the times and dates agreed To take part in reporting and evaluation activity as requested by UNISA-SBLF and its agents or partners within the agreed schedule Providers are responsible for insurance cover on their own equipment and belongings.
