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.
