Project ID 500AFG4000

On May 25th 2016, the Ministry of Finance Afghanistan and UNESCO have signed a partnership agreement to develop culture and creative industries in Afghanistan through a newly-established Multi-Partner Trust Fund. Recognising the power of culture as a driver of social and economic development, this long-term initiative is established to support the National Program for Culture and Creative Economy (NPCE). The program will focus on three priorities: (i) the promotion of creative industry for employability and job creation; (ii) the safeguarding of cultural heritage (iii) the development of a network of cultural centres across the country to foster heritage education
