Strengthening the Governance of Culture in Developing Countries: Unesco Call for Applications. Deadlines: 30 April and 30 June, 2011
UNESCO launches an international call for applications for technical assistance missions: Strengthening the Governance of Culture in Developing Countries. The first stage of the project, which seeks to strengthen cultural governance in developing countries, established a pool of cultural policy and governance experts. UNESCO is now launching the project’s second phase: an international call for applications for technical assistance missions in developing countries. The beneficiary countries whose mission applications are selected by the Steering Committee will then be able to choose experts from this pool to carry out the technical assistance mission. These experts will work directly with the public authorities, contributing their valuable experience and know-how. According to the UNESCO press release, “These missions will be based on the needs and priorities of the beneficiary countries and will be undertaken by top experts in the field of cultural policies. The missions will support the beneficiary countries in their efforts to establish legal, regulatory, and/or institutional frameworks and/or introduce policies that address the role of culture in social and economic development, particularly through the cultural industries.”
The list of eligible countries is available on the UNESCO website.
To be considered, applications must be received by the UNESCO Secretariat no later than April 30, 2011, or June 30, 2011.
