PART 6. PLAN OF ACTION 61 PART 6. PLAN OF ACTION In order to support the government to execute the required policies and to take the necessary steps to strengthen its creative industries, the implementing agencies have jointly prepared a Plan of Action, as presented in the table below. It lists a series of activities expected to be undertaken during the second phase of implementation of this multi-agency project foreseen for the period 2010–2011. Due to budgetary constraints, the number of planned activities is relatively limited but they are targeted and expected to have a far-reaching positive impact for harnessing the creative economy in Mozambique, particularly because other complementary measures are gradually being taken by other ongoing international cooperation projects. In phase I of the project, UNCTAD activities are centred on policy advice to the Government through the elaboration of this country study and the elaboration of a plan of action. In phase II of the project, UNCTAD activities will be focused on institution-building and capacity-building for government officials, including on the cross-cutting issues and on trade and investment matters which are crucial for strengthening the creative industries in the country. These activities will cover the topics addressed under sections 3 and 4 of this report. Policy advice and technical assistance will also be provided to relevant institutions and professional associations, with the aim of promoting concrete initiatives, strategic alliances and partnerships. UNCTAD will promote targeted activities to improve the visibility of the most competitive creative sectors and to facilitate North–South and South–South cooperation and business opportunities between artists, creators and creative enterprises. ILO will focus on vocational training and managerial and entrepreneurial skills. Policy advice will be given on issues related to job creation and social security. ILO will also explore linkages with other projects being carried out, particularly on issues related to women artists and better use of ICT tools. UNESCO is expected to assist the Government in the reinforcement key artistic and professional associations, as well as on matters related to cultural heritage and cultural diversity. UNESCO will also facilitate networking among artists, the sharing of information, and the marketing of cultural products domestically and in global markets. In this context, upon the request of UNCTAD, the United Nations Resident Coordinator in Mozambique convened a High-level Policy Dialogue held on 29 June 2009, in Maputo, on behalf of ACP/EU/UNCTAD/ILO/UNESCO. The meeting gathered government authorities, associations and stakeholders from the creative sectors with the aim to present, discuss and validate this UNCTAD study, Strengthening the Creative Industries in Mozambique, and the proposed Plan of Action. Participants recognized that the study was in line with government priorities and therefore received full support from the United Nations Coordination Office in Mozambique. The validation process of the Plan of Action was under the responsibility of the UNESCO office in Maputo. This report provides the analysis and the arguments in support of the proposed activities as presented in the Plan of Action, which has been duly validated, both by the donors of this project, namely the European Commission and the ACP secretariat, and by the beneficiaries, i.e. the Government and all the stakeholders from the creative industries, in particular from Mozambique's artistic and creative communities in October 2009. The validated Plan of Action is presented below.
