UNESCO launches the second call for applications for funding from the
International Fund for Cultural Diversity (IFCD).
The purpose of the IFCD is to promote sustainable development and poverty
reduction in developing countries that are Parties to the 2005 Convention
on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions.
The IFCD supports projects that aim to foster the emergence of a dynamic
cultural sector, primarily by facilitating the introduction of new
cultural policies and cultural industries, or strengthening existing ones.

Who Can Apply to the IFCD?

The beneficiaries of the Fund are developing and least-developed countries
that are Parties to the Convention. Therefore, those who are eligible to
apply to the Fund are:

* all developing countries that are Parties to the Convention;
* all States Parties to the Convention that have determined the existence
of special situations on their territory in conformity with Articles 8 and
17 of the Convention and related operational guidelines;
* non-governmental organizations from developing countries that are
Parties to the Convention, which meet the definition of civil society as
mentioned in the Operational guidelines relating to the role and
participation of civil society;
* international non-governmental organizations, which meet the definition
of civil society as mentioned in the operational guidelines relating to
the role and participation of civil society, and which present projects
with impact at the sub-regional, regional or inter-regional level;
* representatives of vulnerable groups and other social groups identified
in Article 7 of the 2005 Convention (i.e. women and other social groups,
including persons belonging to minorities and indigenous peoples) from
developing countries that are Parties to the 2005 Convention.

Equitable geographic distribution of the resources of the IFCD is to be
ensured to the extent possible.
