The Global Alliance for Cultural Diversity

The Global Alliance for Cultural Diversity is a UNESCO project which works to strengthen cultural industries, such as music, cinema, and publishing, in developing countries. It does this by promoting respect for intellectual property rights and by encouraging public-private partnerships between the members of the Alliance that facilitate knowledge sharing, capacity building, good practice and mentoring.


Interesting detail:

Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs to donate USD 250 000 annually to the Alliance A yearly contribution of 250.000$ to the dedicated fund of the Global Alliance has been incorporated into the Master Plan of Spain's development aid for the next four years (2005-2008).
In a meeting in Madrid with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on 15 March 2005, the modalities of the payment of this contribution to UNESCO were established.
