Support Programme to Cultural Industries in ACP Countries
The Secretariat of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States (ACP Secretariat) has elaborated a programme to support cultural industries of the 79 countries that constitute it.
The programme is funded under the Intra-ACP Funds of the 9th European Development Fund (EDF); 2 million euros will be allocated to it.
The overall objective of the programme is to contribute to the development and restructuring of the cultural sector in the ACP member states, through the promotion of an enabling environment for enhancing creativity, cooperation and exchanges, independency and viability, as well as the safeguarding of cultural diversity and fundamental cultural values.
A pluriannual work programme for grants, containing precise information about the objectives, the calendar and the scope of action for the fund, will be published by the ACP Secretariat during the first trimester 2008.
A call for proposals will then be published by the ACP Secretariat during the second trimester 2008.

Best regards from your WOMEX team
