UNESCO Culture 2030 Indicators Workshop
The "UNESCO Culture 2030 Indicators" workshop is an event organized by the Ministry of Cultural Affairs, the Municipality of Tunis, and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), with the support of the European Union (EU). The implementation is made possible under the program titled "Promoting evidence-based policies and actions and supporting policy development to strengthen the contribution of creative sectors and industries to sustainable development," funded by the EU. The project will implement the UNESCO Culture 2030 indicators methodology to measure and track progress in the contribution of culture to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda in a cross-cutting manner across the different Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and targets. It will therefore directly serve the implementation and monitoring of the 2030 Agenda at the national and local levels. This will be important for supporting advocacy efforts to make the role of culture in sustainable development more visible.
