Apply for funding

UNESCO has just launched the call for funding requests to our International Fund for Cultural Diversity.

Through an open and competitive process, we fund innovative projects with up to US$ 100,000, implemented over a 12–24-month period. The projects are evaluated based on their relevance, feasibility, financial management capacity and expected results.

The IFCD is a key instrument of international cooperation and assistance for the 2005 Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions. The Fund invests in projects that lead to structural and sustainable changes in the cultural and creative sectors in developing countries, through the development or implementation of policies and measures that promote the creation, production, distribution and access to a diversity of cultural expressions.
