Publisher's Synopsis
The aim of the Commonwealth Statement on Culture and Development is to highlight the importance of the multiple connections between culture and development, and the added value that can be achieved by taking greater consideration of culture in development. By raising awareness amongst Commonwealth governments, donors, civil society and wider audiences of the close connections between culture, creativity and successful development, the aim is to encourage more sustainable development methods and practices, and enhance culture’s contribution to economic and social development, and conflict prevention.
