On 21 March 2013 the IFCD launched its fourth call for funding
requests for projects and preparatory assistance requests that aim to
foster the emergence of a dynamic cultural sector at the national
and/or local level, primarily through activities facilitating the
introduction of new cultural policies and cultural industries, or
strengthening existing ones.
Since 2010, the IFCD is providing more than USD 3.5 million in funding
for 61 projects in 40 developing countries, covering a wide range of
areas, from the development and implementation of cultural policies,
to capacity-building of cultural entrepreneurs, mapping of cultural
industries and the creation of new cultural industry business models.
Government authorities and NGOs from developing countries that are
Parties to the 2005 Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the
Diversity of Cultural Expressions, as well as international
non-governmental organizations (INGOs), are eligible to apply.
Special attention is given in this fourth call to projects aiming at
capacity building for cultural policies, understood as those policies
designed to have a direct effect on the creation, production,
dissemination, distribution of and access to cultural activities,
goods and services. Important information:
• Government authorities and NGOs are to consult their National
Commissions for UNESCO for the submission deadline at the national
level.
• National Commissions for UNESCO will forward pre-selected projects
to the UNESCO Secretariat for evaluation by 30 June 2013, midnight
CET.
• INGOs can send their applications directly to the UNESCO Secretariat
before the deadline 30 June 2013, midnight CET.
