Bio / presentation

The IFCD is one of the few United Nations funds that supports artistic and cultural entities, government institutions, and non-governmental organizations from the Global South in developing stronger cultural and creative industries (CCIs) in their countries. It funds innovative projects around the world in the fields of film, performing arts, visual arts, and media arts, as well as in design, music, and publishing. By working together, we are building lasting change so that everyone can express and enjoy diverse cultural expressions. We invest in people who would otherwise not have the opportunity to enhance their skills and networks. We also invest in the development and implementation of evidence-based and inclusive policies. The goal is to support communities in building thriving cultural and creative industries.
