How does culture contribute to the development of a country? How does it interact with other priority development areas? How are cultural resources managed to support the sustainability of the processes of change? These are some of the questions that the UNESCO Culture for Development Indicator Suite (CDIS) aims to answer, generating new knowledge and data on the reality and potential of culture in many middle- and middle-low-income countries.

Recognizing the symbolic importance of the very first meeting of Ministers of Culture of CELAC, the Declaration also stressed that respect for the cultural diversity that characterizes Latin American and Caribbean identities as multi-ethnic, multicultural and multilingual societies provides the basis for cooperation and for actions aimed at achieving regional integration. In the spirit and under the principles of this Community, such integration should be based on respect for pluralism and the sovereign right of each people of the region, as well as on adherence to the rules and standards of international law.

Myrna Cunningham. Former chair and current member of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues.
Article. Culture & Development No. 9.
Culture is an active process whereby human groups meet their present collective needs. It involves language, values, behaviours, standards, institutions, human knowledge and capacities, and individual and collective memories that make sense of human existence and without which this existence is not possible. Consequently, the dimensions of culture reveal themselves in politics, economics and social life in general. Living Well cannot, therefore, be linked only with per capita income or economic growth; it should include values, standards, ideas and behaviours that provide for harmony between human beings and Mother Earth.

Marta Suplicy. State Minister for Culture in Brazil.
Article. Culture & Development No. 9.
As a result of a new, in-depth reformulation of social policies, Brazil is building a number of legal frameworks that provide a “tool box” for cultural management. These tools were developed from three important overlapping dimensions that make up the core of the cultural policies that are being currently implemented by the Ministry of Culture. The symbolic dimension expands the concept of culture from an anthropological point of view. The citizen dimension recognizes access to culture as a right and as the involvement and co-responsibility of civil society in policy formulation and management. The economic dimension highlights the potential of culture as a vital development agent.
