Colombia: Making the most of its Creative Potential
In 2014, UNESCO launched the four-year project “Enhancing fundamental freedoms through the promotion of the diversity of cultural expressions” with funding from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).
The project, implemented in 12 countries (Burkina Faso, Cambodia, Colombia, Cuba, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Morocco, Rwanda, Senegal, Tunisia, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe) aims to strengthen the human and institutional capacities of governmental and civil society actors to collect the evidence required to design, implement and monitor national policies and measures that promote the diversity of cultural expressions.
