Periodic reporting on the Implementation of the 2005 Convention

Quadrennial Periodic Reporting on the 2005 Convention ["quadrennial"? That's every 4 years…]

Key Questions What are the key concepts of the 2005 Convention? What are the obligations for reporting on the

implementation of the 2005 Convention? What are Monitoring Systems? Monitoring the implementation of an international

instrument – why does this matter? Are there interesting monitoring practices? How is the monitoring system of the 2005 Convention

organized? The National Point of Contact of the Convention - which

functions does it cover?



The 2005 Convention: What it is…

• A legally-binding international agreement • It ensures that artists, cultural professionals, practitioners and

citizens worldwide can create, produce, disseminate and enjoy a broad range of cultural goods, services and activities, including their own.

• Adopted, because the international community signalled the urgency for the implementation of international law that would recognize: • the distinctive nature of cultural goods, services and

activities as vehicles of identity, values and meaning. • the dual nature of cultural goods and services: Both their

economic value AND their cultural value are important! In other words: they are not mere commodities or consumer goods that should only be regarded as objects of trade.


…and what it is not!

Eight key principles 1. Respect for human rights and fundamental

freedoms 2. Sovereign right of all countries to adopt cultural

policies and measures within their territory 3. Equal dignity and respect for all cultures 4. International solidarity and cooperation 5. Economic AND cultural aspects of development 6. Sustainable development 7. Equitable access to cultural expressions from

around the world 8. Openness and balance

Guiding principles of the 2005 Convention



Periodic Reporting as a Tool to: • Monitor Implementation Progress • Facilitate Dialogue

Difference between monitoring and information sharing Challenges faced by diverse stakeholders, for example: • Can we really "measure" cultural diversity or development? • Availability and reliability of data and information • Certain strategic policy questions (potential conflicts with the

Convention) • Existing policy instruments / institutions: Can they adapt to the key

principles? • Future needs, e.g. in regionals like Africa


Article 9 – Information sharing and transparency

Parties shall:

(a) provide appropriate information in their reports to

UNESCO every four years on measures taken to

promote the diversity of cultural expressions within their

territory and at the international level;

(b) designate a point of contact responsible for

information sharing in relation to this Convention;

(c) share and exchange information relating to the

diversity of cultural expressions.


Article 19 – Exchange, analysis and dissemination of information

Parties

agree to exchange information and share expertise concerning data collection and statistics as well as on good practices.

UNESCO shall:

facilitate the collection, analysis and dissemination of information, statistics and good practices;

establish and update a data bank on pertinent governmental, private and non-profit organizations;

pay particular attention to capacity-building and the strengthening of expertise for Parties.


Monitoring practices

• Goals and mission of monitoring • Difference between "hard" and "soft" monitoring • Standardized questions and indicators • Availability of reliable data and information which are

collected on regular basis and over a certain time period • Secured verification procedures by specialists of the data

and information • Mechanisms to process and channel the expected results

to reach relevant policy makers interested in evaluating goals, activities and instruments

About the ERICarts Institute The European Institute for Comparative Cultural Research (ERICarts),

established 1993 and based in Bonn/Germany, is an independent provider of empirical information and analysis to policymakers and other actors in the cultural field and in related policy sectors (e.g. media; education; youth; regional development; economy; security).

It relies on a network of experienced partner institutions and permanent correspondents in over 50 countries; many of them contribute to the Council of Europe / ERICarts "Compendium of Cultural Policies & Trends in Europe" www.culturalpolicies.net.

Comparative studies for the European Union include, for example: • "The Contribution of Culture to Local and Regional Economic Development

- Evidence from the Structural Funds" (with CSES); • Mobility of Cultural Professionals (www.mobility-matters.eu); and • "Sharing Diversity" (approaches to intercultural dialogue in Europe –

www.interculturaldialogue.eu).

Quadrennial Periodic Reporting

Key Questions What is the purpose of monitoring and periodic reporting in

the context of the 2005 Convention? Why is the periodic reporting exercise important with regard

to the implementation of the 2005 Convention? What are the expected outcomes of periodic reporting? What are the main steps in the preparation of reports? Who should be in charge of the preparation of periodic

reports? What information should be presented in periodic reports? What are the benefits of participatory processes in the

preparation of periodic reports? What good practices can be identified as regards the drafting

and submission of periodic reports?


But first, let us consider the scope of application …

… what should the periodic report cover?


The Convention defines “cultural expressions” as cultural goods, services and activities that result from the creativity of individuals, groups and societies. It does NOT address the broader concept of cultural diversity.

This means that cultural heritage, tangible or intangible, is not covered by the scope of the 2005 Convention.

Scope of application of the 2005 Convention


Article 9 of the Convention guidelines The reports shall provide relevant information on measures Parties have taken to protect and promote the diversity of cultural expressions within • The territory: government and its agencies at all

tiers • The International level: through

• bilateral and multilateral cooperation • Preferential treatment measures • Support for stakeholders participation in

international activities • Information and knowledge sharing



The 2005 Convention: A new international framework for governance and management of culture 1. Cultural policies and measures - nurture creativity - provide access for creators 2. Overall contribution of the cultural industries - to economic and social development 3. Integrating culture in sustainable development policies - in national development policies 4. International cooperation - to facilitate mobility of artists - facilitate flow of cultural goods and services


The scope of cultural expressions (activities, goods and services) Article 8 – cultural goods and services as distinct commodities of a unique kind Article 10 – strengthening capacities for creation and dissemination of cultural goods and services at the global level Article 11 – building partnership between the public sector, the private sector and civil society




Protection • sovereign right of States to main, adopt and

implement appropriate policies and measures • Preservation, safeguarding and enhancement of

the diversity of cultural expressions Promotion • expansion of cultural exchanges • access to global markets for cultural activities,

goods and services

Article 3 ‘Policies and measures adopted by the Parties related to the protection and promotion of the diversity of cultural expressions’


Pillars of the preservation and promotion of creative diversity: the 1972, 2003 and 2005 Conventions


Question: What are the benefits and expected outcomes of

the periodic reporting?

Group exercise

Periodic reporting is not only a statutory obligation of Parties; it can be considered and

approached as a strategic tool for policy development on creativity within your country


Periodic Reports should analyze:


- How - Why were the measures to promote

- What diversity of cultural expressions

- When introduced?

What impact have these measures had since the implementation process began?

Mechanism The Periodic Reports should be compiled in consultation with:

Different tiers of government, including local and regional

Different Ministries, including Labor, Finance, Trade and Foreign Relations

Relevant civil society organizations Statistics Offices / Bureaux

The Convention on Participation

“Democratic governance presupposes forms of government and modes of decision-making that take account of the multicultural composition of contemporary societies and their wide variety of beliefs, projects and lifestyles. In promoting a more inclusive form of governance, the management of cultural diversity can turn a societal challenge into a democratic strength […]” UNESCO Report on Cultural Diversity, 2009


Participatory process Article 11) Parties acknowledge the fundamental role of civil society in protecting and promoting the diversity of cultural expressions. Parties shall encourage the active participation of civil society in their efforts to achieve the objectives of this Convention. Parties ensure the involvement of civil society in the preparation of the reports according to jointly agreed modalities. The reports shall indicate the way in which civil society participated in the drafting process. Parties can also cooperate with specialized bodies at national, regional and international levels to collect information and data requested in the framework of the quadrennial periodic reports.


Why is participatory process important?

participatory process allows for the cross-checking of the accuracy and efficiency of the information collected

Data collected can be clarified when needed

Transparency is more easily ensured when all participate

Key priorities, problems, achievements and challenges for the future can be identified more easily

Structured dialogue with other stakeholders is reinforced, as a transparent and broad participatory process avoids consulting only the most influential groups

The richness of the activities and measures detected is enhanced by more innovative approaches and examples can be identified through information sharing to prepare the report.


The process of participation is more important than the end product


Civil society participation in the drafting of Periodic Reports: various modalities collaborative processes involving joint drafting and revision

of the report

parallel processes whereby the Government and civil society prepared their own reports, with the latter integrated into the former

consultative processes whereby civil society’s views and input were solicited through questionnaires and other forms of feedback, and then included in the Party’s report


Group exercise: How best to involve civil society?

1. Who should participate 2. How will you ensure a diversity of stakeholders 3. How will you ensure legitimacy of stakeholders 4. What kinds of meetings should be arranged 5. What resources will be needed 6. What data is needed 7. How will this data be collected 8. What is the expected outcome

Key Questions What is international cooperation?

How does international cooperation relate to

the objectives and principles of the 2005 Convention?

What types of policies and measures can be adopted in the field of international cooperation?

How to report on international cooperation in the context of periodic reports?


Key Concept: International cooperation Collaboration between public, private and civil society

actors from different countries or regions for the achievement of common goals: A right, an opportunity and an important task – or

even a "duty" – for all peoples and all nations to share knowledge, skills and experiences

Promote the enrichment of all cultures whilst respecting the distinctive character of each

To be carried out for the mutual benefit of all nations practicing it

Contribute to the establishment of stable and peaceful, long term relations between peoples


Main target groups of international cooperation policies and practices

Examples of international cultural cooperation include successful exchanges / programmes involving…

public officials to dialogue on policy issues;

professionals working in public sector cultural institutions, aimed at building strategic and management capacities;

professionals working in private companies, aimed at building creation and production capacities.

artists and civil society actors, aimed at capacity building and information / dissemination


Relevant, successful or innovative international cooperation measures

Examples involving governments or public agencies include: - signing treaties and international agreements increasing and facilitating the exchange of cultural goods and services and professionals at the national, regional and international levels - organizing, and participating in, international events (festivals, forums, summits, fairs, symposia, etc.) to foster cultural exchanges - providing information, advice and technical assistance on cultural policy-making, ICTs, business models, etc. - supporting individual trans-border contacts, exchanges or co-productions of artists, media professionals, small companies


Deficits not to be spared out in the reports, for example: The North-South imbalance in artists' residencies

Key Questions What is preferential treatment?

Why is preferential treatment relevant in the

context of the 2005 Convention?

What measures and policies can be adopted to integrate preferential treatment with regard to the diversity of cultural expressions?

How to report on preferential treatment policies and measures in the context of periodic reports?


Preferential Treatment - Key Concepts


• Accorded to cultural goods and services and artists • May, or in the words of the Convention, Art 16:

"Shall" be granted in order to ensure equal opportunities for all (probably the most "binding" clause of the treaty!)

• An exception to the general principle of ‘non discrimination’ (multilateral trade frameworks)

Global North Parties provide support to cultural expressions from Global South – creating commercial opportunities and ensuring more balanced flows of cultural goods and services

Preferential treatment to be applied in a holistic approach – exploring synergies between

trade

international development

cultural instruments and policies



Key Points about Preferential Treatment Refers to cultural goods and services as well as artists and

cultural professionals Refers to institutional and legal frameworks and other

elements in the Convention Interpreted and applied to the Convention as a whole Parties have discretion in finding innovative ways to

exercise preferential treatment A cross cutting principle transversally informing all types

of international exchanges Has a wider (not narrow) meaning of "trade", involving

both cultural and trade components



Preferential treatment measures can be reported on as having an impact on three different levels:

individual: human resource development, including programmes to facilitate the mobility and exchange of artists and cultural professionals and build expertise among them;

institutional or organizational: building capacities of cultural enterprises and organizations in promoting the economic and trade dimension of the sector, including support schemes and co-distribution agreements;

industry: wider systemic relationships established through bilateral, regional and multilateral trade agreements, cultural policy and other frameworks



Internal Arrangements and Partnerships Transversal or inter-ministerial cooperation

• Avenues for dialogue such as permanent working groups, specific meetings between ministries in charge of foreign/ regional affairs, government ministries for culture and others

National Cultural Development and Priority setting • Strategies and action plans for international cultural

cooperation or development and integration into bilateral, regional and multilateral agreements

• Monitoring and evaluation mechanisms Participation of Civil Society

• In policy making and priority-setting processes, as well as in the monitoring of international agreements

Examples of measures by developed countries:

facilitating the mobility of artists and cultural professionals, by simplifying procedures for issue of visas or lowering visa costs

establishing funding arrangements and resource-sharing, including co-production and co-distribution agreements

providing technical assistance including equipment acquisition, technology transfer and expertise

providing technical assistance

improving access of cultural goods and services of developing countries to the markets of developed countries


Examples of measures by developing countries:

assessing needs and priorities of their cultural sector

fostering an enabling environment for the emergence of cultural industries at the national level

providing strategic support to their domestic cultural sectors

actively seeking knowledge and expertise in the areas of enhancement and dissemination of all cultural expressions



Key Lessons

International cooperation (visas, mobility, coproduction agreements )

Trade (new cultural protocol tool) Culture and development (culture’s role in sustainable

development) Long term changes (require time) Bilateral Trade agreements (using the Convention as a

counterweight) The impact of digital on production and broadcasting

channels (accessing culture in new ways) Data collection challenges (requires interdepartmental

coordination) Poor National level coordination to be improved


The Parties could: Civil society could:

Create interdepartmental groups

(including the ministries of culture,

trade, employment, immigration, etc.)

and envisage the best way to involve

the point of contract of the

Convention in this process

Continue their efforts to raise

awareness of Articles 16 and 21 by

organising events and the publication

of studies

Continue their involvement in

consultations undertaken by UNESCO

Secretariat and provide relevant

information.

Have a louder voice and be more

involved in the process, since it can

draw attention to cases where the

Parties have or have not met their

obligations.

Key Questions

What is sustainable development? What is the relationship between culture and

sustainable development? How does the 2005 Convention address the

relationship between culture and sustainable development?

What are the relevant policies and measures in this area?

What measures can be implemented at a national and an international level?

What internal arrangements and partnerships can be adopted to foster strategies and policies in this area?

What indicators can be used to evaluate the role of culture in sustainable development?


Sustainable development Operational Guidelines on Article 13 define sustainable development as “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their

own needs” Human development is understood as a process of enlarging people’s choices.


What is development? UNDP Human Development Report defines development as • the expansion of people’s freedoms to live long, healthy and

creative lives;

• to advance other goals they have reason to value;

• and to engage actively in shaping development equitably and sustainably on a shared planet.

People are both the beneficiaries and the drivers of human development, as individuals and in groups.

What measures to describe in the Periodic Report?

Culture and Sustainable development policies at the domestic level

Article 13 refers particularly to sustainable development at a domestic level, e.g. local, regional and national strategies and policies, although it can also be understood as an encouragement to consider cultural aspects in all types of policies and programmes related to the diversity of cultural expressions: ‘Parties shall endeavour to integrate culture in their development policies at all levels for the creation of conditions conducive to sustainable development and, within this framework, foster aspects relating to the protection and promotion of the diversity of cultural expressions.’


Culture and Sustainable development policies at the international levels

‘Parties shall endeavour to support cooperation for sustainable development and poverty reduction, especially in relation to the specific needs of developing countries, in order to foster the emergence of a dynamic cultural sector by, inter alia, the following means: the strengthening of the cultural industries; capacity-building through the exchange of information,

experience and expertise; technology transfer through the introduction of appropriate

incentive measures for the transfer of technology and know-how;

financial support’


What to highlight: A particular focus of this section is on the non-financial aspects of the contribution of culture to development, i.e. on the role of culture in • building inclusive societies and • reducing inequalities.


Measures at the national level:

integrating culture into overall national development planning, i.e., strategies, policies and action plans;

achieving economic, social and environmental outcomes by integrating culture into, inter alia, poverty eradication and social inclusion strategies;

securing fairness and equitable treatment of disadvantaged individuals and social groups (including women) to participate in cultural life;

securing equity in the distribution of cultural resources between regions and urban and rural areas.


Measures at the international level:

strengthening human and institutional capacities for policy development and entrepreneurship through training, networking, exchange of information, etc.;

transfer of technology and expertise in the areas of cultural industries and enterprises: needs analysis, access to new information and communication technologies, development of new platforms, etc.

financial support: contribution to the IFCD, integration of the cultural sector within framework plans for official development aid (ODA), facilitating access of the cultural industries to public and private funding, design of innovative financial mechanisms, etc.

Key Questions What is the definition of civil society in the Convention framework? What roles and functions for civil society do the Convention

provisions promote? Why is it important to involve civil society in activities related to the

Convention implementation? What Parties are invited to do in order to support the emergence

and active participation of civil society? How should civil society be involved in the preparation of the

report? What may prevent civil society from fully assuming the

responsibilities and opportunities offered by the Convention? What is awareness raising and how can civil society contribute to it? Why is it important to raise awareness for the quality of civil

society contribution to the implementation of the Convention and what have Parties done so far?


Civil society For the purposes of this Convention, civil society includes:

non-governmental organizations

non-profit organizations

professionals in the culture sector and associated sectors

groups that support the work of artists and cultural communities

Source: Operational Guidelines on Article 11 – Participation of civil society (para. 3)


Civil society in the Convention


Service Provider

Innovator

Value-Guardian

Advocacy

Accountability

Civil society produces, disseminates and promotes cultural expressions

Civil society organisations are innovators in the field of cultural policies and activities

Civil society plays a watchdog role over the values, principles and objectives contained in the C

Awareness raising activities through information sharing on the objectives and implementation of the C

Monitoring policies and programmes implementation and through active participation in periodic reporting

By ratifying the Convention, Parties:

acknowledge the fundamental role of civil society in protecting and promoting the diversity of cultural expressions, and

Commit to encourage their participation in activities, designed to achieve the objectives of this Convention.

Participatory governance of culture

Recognizing that the system of governance of culture involves a range of governmental and non-governmental actors, the Convention encourages Parties to facilitate the active participation of a diversity of actors in policy-making processes as well as sharing responsibility in policy implementation.

This involves the active participation of civil society, individuals (e.g. women and youth) and social groups including persons belonging to minorities and indigenous peoples.


Civil society may also wish to share information on:

activities they have planned for the next four years to implement the Convention

main challenges encountered or foreseen and solutions found or envisaged to overcome those challenges

Specify which civil society organizations contributed to the Report.


How have Parties involved civil society?

Some examples


Formulating, monitoring, evaluating and amending cultural policies

implementing cultural policies, including the allocation of public funding by institutions managed by civil society, to projects that realize the aims of the Convention or cultural policies

Supporting autonomous cultural activities in the context of the Convention’s objectives or as a principle of cultural policy more generally

Distributing information and raising awareness about cultural policies and the Convention through civil society

Communication and consultation methods to ensure the inclusion of the civil society’s views

Challenges to collaboration


Inclusiveness in reaching entire spectrum of civil society and the private sector

Awareness of the potential for involvement in reporting

Funding to participate in meaningful ways

priorities

Key Questions How do the Global Priorities of UNESCO impact the reporting

of the Convention? What policies and measures can be incorporated to ensure

gender equality? What policies and measures would ensure the participation

of the Youth? What are the new priority issues identified by the Convention

governing bodies? What are the key policy discussions on

Digital issues and the impact on the diversity of cultural expressions?

Public service broadcasting and independent media? The status of artists and freedom of artistic expression?


Transversal issues

Parties are to report on the emerging transversal issue(s) identified for each reporting period. In doing so, they may be guided by key questions (a) – (i) of the Reporting Framework. A resolution of the Conference of Parties will determine transversal issue(s) to be reported on for each four-year reporting cycle. For 2016-2019, no transversal issue was determined.


UNESCO Priorities: Youth

Empowering young people and promoting their participation in the implementation of the Convention is in line with the UNESCO Operational Strategy 2014-2021 for Youth. In this section, Parties describe at least one policy, measure or project to:

• encourage the participation of youth as creators, producers and beneficiaries of cultural activities, goods and services;

• facilitate the involvement of youth and youth-led organizations and the integration of their concerns and needs in cultural policy-making processes;

• introduce new curricula or programmes in higher education and training institutions to build new skills required for the cultural and creative industries including entrepreneurial, management and technological skills;

• involve youth in collecting and disseminating information about the diversity of cultural expressions in their communities.


UNESCO Priorities: Gender Equality

Gender equality is a UNESCO global priority for the 2014-2017 Programme and Budget period. In this section, Parties describe at least one policy or measure adopted to promote gender equality in the cultural sector, and support women as creators, producers and beneficiaries of cultural expressions. In doing so, they may be guided by key questions (a) – (i) of the Reporting Framework.

Media Diversity and public sector broadcasting

the specific role of enhancing media diversity for achieving the Convention’s objectives

the need to ensure freedom of thought, expression and information, the free exchange and circulation of ideas as well as diversity of the media for cultural expressions to flourish within societies;

the principle of technological neutrality public service broadcasting as

a measure for enhancing diversity of media and as an enabler of promoting and protecting the diversity

of cultural expressions; binding policy standards regarding the dual nature of

cultural goods and services that should achieve a balanced and specific treatment of cultural and audiovisual goods and services in international trade policies.


Opportunities and challenges for reporting on media diversity

Opportunities have broadened through expansion of audiovisual media

Media freedom and other basic freedoms are necessary to enhance media diversity

New types of media actors with blurring of boundaries Gender equity in media content and decision making Professional media institutions and public media Locally produced content and language Digital revolution and convergence Independent media producers/ public service media Community media and radio Public service media with editorial independence






Key Questions Why is the collection, analysis, dissemination and sharing

of empirical information important in the context of the 2005 Convention?

What is the role and relevance of national cultural information systems? How can these be set up?

What indicators and statistics could be used to prepare periodic reports?

If a national cultural information system is missing, how to collect/analyse alternative data that may be relevant?

Why do periodic reports ask for (optional) information on cultural economy, cultural industries, cultural infrastructure and cultural participation?



Reporting on main achievements and challenges (Reporting Framework, Section 7)

Parties and participating stakeholders should share empirical information on:

the results achieved

the challenges encountered

solutions found to overcome these challenges

future outlook and next steps to be taken

Suggestion: specific empirical evidence to support the reporting on different policies and measures could already be provided in earlier chapters. In the absence of differentiated official statistics or cultural information systems, some of these – mostly "issue-driven" – data may need to be newly developed.


Designing and maintaining a cultural information system

A comprehensive evidence base is the optimal solution for: • Understanding the realities and dynamics of the country’s

cultural expressions • Reporting on all aspects of the Convention • Designing, implementing and evaluating cultural policy and

cultural programmes • Encouraging public debate on issues of cultural policy • Providing evidence to explain/defend actions in support of

the sustainable development of the sector NOTE: Such information systems are not necessarily based in the national statistical office, can also be associated with a Ministry of Culture, a research institute at the university, etc.


Let's revisit first the 'Culture for Development Indicators': Improving the Evidence-Base (Handout CDIS) 1. Economy: measuring contributions of culture to economic development 2. Education: analysing the priority given to culture within the educational

system, notably as an enabler for inclusion and diversity 3. Governance: examining the system of national cultural governance, e.g.

adoption of legislation and policy, distribution of cultural infrastructure, civil society participation, etc.

4. Social Participation: illustrating the impact of culture practices, values and attitudes on social progress

5. Gender Equality: examining culture’s role in the reality and the perceptions of gender equality

6. Communication: analysing the conditions in place for disseminating and accessing diverse cultural content

7. Heritage: assessing public frameworks to protect and promote heritage sustainability

Important: The process of searching for/validating data is already important!


Development and evaluation of cultural indicators and statistics: a few caveats

Can we really "measure" culture? Yes, we can, at least partially… 1. Statistical frameworks can complicate things! 2. Issues are key! The more precise policy issues are formulated, the

better we can search for relevant indicators and empirical evidence.

3. Definitions make a difference! 4. Indicators must be simple! 5. Frequently, more potential data sources exist than statisticians

expect! Interaction with stakeholders or professional bodies is important.

6. Size matters! How to achieve "representative" samples… 7. Don't fall into the evaluation trap! Let's look at some examples for these points…

Ad 1: Statistical frameworks

Ad 2: Issues are key!


According to James Wagala (Regional M&E Coordinator Africa at Global Clover Network), indicators should be: Simple: An indicator has to be clear and understandable by all. Simplicity can be a key consideration here. Relevant: An indicator has to speak to the result it is used to measure. Economical: The indicator and datasets must be collectable at a manageable cost. Some indicators may be good but too expensive. Assignable: The tracking of the indicator and collection of data to measure it must be assignable specifically to a member of the project team: One person has to take responsibility for the delivery… Measurable: The indicator has to be measurable. Consider these two indicators for a training intervention: "Number of people trained" and "Knowledge of trainees". While the second one may be a better measure for the output of a training, it may be very difficult to measure. Let me also add the following: Comparable over time: Indicators are most relevant when showing trends

Ad 4. Indicators must be simple!

Key findings from the first three reporting years (2012-2014; 71 reports)


• The Convention has led to the introduction of new cultural policies and measures in developing countries

• Countries have

reassessed their international cooperation strategies to include culture among key objectives

Most countries have adopted legislation on the arts and

culture, including the

status of the artist

Countries have not only promoted

export of domestic cultural goods and services but also

import of foreign ones

Many countries have integrated culture in their

national development

plans

Key findings from the first three reporting years (2012-2014), continued


Cultural cooperation activities have become focused on specific cultural industry

sectors such as music, film and book publishing and promoting

the mobility of artists

New forms of support for

young artists and cultural

professionals

More countries are integrating cultural and creative industries into development strategies

and programmes

Key findings from the first three reporting years (2012-2014), continued


Many have been inspired by a policy or measure successfully implemented

elsewhere.

Policy transfer also takes place from developing

to developed countries


Key implementation

challenges

Lack of financial and human

resources and insufficient public-

private sector partnerships

Multiple understandings and usages of

the concepts in the Convention

Insufficient awareness

among decision-makers of

the Challenges to organising inter ministerial

cooperation
