UNESCO has opened the 12th call for project proposals within the funds from the International Fund for Cultural Diversity (IFCD).
IFCD supports developing country projects that lead to structural change through the introduction and/or development of policies and strategies that have a direct impact on the creation, production, distribution and access to diversity of cultural expressions, as well as strengthening institutional infrastructures supporting sustainable local and regional cultural industries, which was established by the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions in 2005.
Projects supported by IFCD cover a wide range of activities – from capacity building to policy analysis and development, entrepreneurship support and consolidation of cultural industries, which are in line with the objectives of the 2005 Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions.
