UNESCO launches a new international call for applications for technical assistance missions in the framework of a project funded by the European Union (EU), aiming to strengthen the system of governance for culture in developing countries.

These missions will be based on the needs and priorities of the beneficiary countries. They intend to 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.

This project contributes directly to the implementation of the 2005 UNESCO Convention and aims to reinforce the role of culture as a vector for sustainable development and poverty reduction.

Application deadline: 24 November 2011
