Background Max. Grant amount: EUR 60.000
Since 2002, the Delegation of the European Union (EU) to the Arab Republic of Egypt has been strengthening the culture sector in Egypt through the financing of specific projects. Since 2007, these activities were funded within the context of the European Union Neighbourhood Policy with the South-Mediterranean Countries and its Financial Instrument, the ENPI. The main objective of the EU-Egypt Cultural Cooperation Programme has been to develop solid cultural cooperation between the EU and Egypt, support the emergence of local cultural industries, strengthen the role and capacities of the Egyptian cultural operators and promote access to culture. These interventions come from a strong belief that culture is a driver for sustainable development and builds on the recent policy developments of the international community and the European Union that acknowledge culture as a major sector of intervention in the international relations and as a vector for development.
