2021 Grants

The International Fund for Cultural Diversity (IFCD) is a key instrument of international cooperation and assistance of the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions.

Its purpose is to foster the emergence of dynamic cultural sectors in developing countries that are Parties to the Convention, through strengthening the means to create, produce, distribute and have access to diverse cultural goods and services.
