UNESCO also provides a unique platform for international cooperation, technical and
financial assistance, as well as for fostering dialogue, mutual respect, appreciation and
understanding.
However, while UNESCO has a specific mandate, we believe that “Culture” is not a
“UNESCO-specific” concern. Indeed, 18 UN organizations work in this area thereby
illustrating both the transversality and the intrinsic importance of culture in the field (UNDP,
UNIDO, UNWTO, IFAD, WIPO, FAO, UNEP, UNCTAD, UNITAR, UNOPS, UNAIDS,
UNHCR, UN-Habitat, UNFPA, UNV)
It is therefore rather interesting, that while culture was not explicitly recognized in year
2000 in the international development agenda, the UN System as a whole has gradually
become more and more involved in integrating culture, or following a culture-sensitive
approach in their development work.
As Professor Throsby indicated, the international community is falling short on delivering
on the targets set out in the Millennium Development Goals in 2000. As we approach 2015,
we are all looking forward, working to see how we can promote socioeconomic and human
development across the globe. For UNESCO, the answer is inextricably linked to the
approach that culture both enables and drives development, and for this reason, it is important
that it be recognized as such in the international development agenda moving forward. In
short, Culture cannot be sidelined in the post 2015 agenda.
What do we mean by saying that culture both enables and drives development?
Our argument is based on three main axes:
Culture has a transformative power that can help broaden the development
debate.
A human-centred approach to development that emerges the cultural context
is most likely to be effective and to yield sustainable, inclusive and equitable
outcomes.
Culture is a resource to:
Simultaneously address both the economic and human rights dimensions
of poverty and
Provide innovative solutions to complex development issues, such as gender,
health and environment and challenges in the areas of education and livelihoods.
UNESCO has embarked upon a coordinated strategy in order to promote this vision. We
have been moving on two levels: the international, institutional policy level, and of
course, at the national, country level – where it really counts and where we can see in situ,
