Unesco has launched the International Fund for Cultural Diversity (IFCD).
The fund aims to promote sustainable development and poverty reduction in developing countries that are parties to the 2005 Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions.
The IFCD supports projects that aim to foster the emergence of a dynamic cultural sector, primarily by facilitating the introduction of new cultural policies and cultural industries, or strengthening existing ones.
Deadline: 30 June 2013, midnight CET.
