The Grenada National Commission for UNESCO is pleased to inform the public of UNESCO’s 15th call for funding requests to the International Fund for Cultural Diversity (IFCD).
The IFCD invests in projects that lead to structural change through:
- The introduction and/or elaboration of policies and strategies that have a direct effect on the creation, production, distribution of, and access to a diversity of cultural expressions, including cultural goods, services, and activities
- The reinforcement of human and institutional capacities of public sector and civil society organisations deemed necessary to support viable local and regional cultural industries and markets in developing countries
Projects supported by the IFCD cover a wide range of activities, from capacity-building and cultural mapping to policy analysis and development, as well as entrepreneurship support and cultural industry consolidation.
Projects may have a transversal (cultural policies or strategies, copyright, etc.) or sectoral focus.
Seven specific sectors are eligible for funding:
- audiovisual/cinema
- visual arts
- design
- media arts
- music
- performing arts
- publishing
Please note that applications should be submitted directly on the IFCD online application platform and applicants are encouraged to download and review all documents related to the call.
