The topic “Culture, Arts and Development” is an inspiring theme of growing interest for development finance actors and their partners. Under the impetus of AFD and its Metis - Arts and Development Fund, this theme will be discussed for the first time within the FICS. A High-level Panel will be organized there for FICS members, development actors and policy-makers to demonstrate the transversal and strategic contribution of arts and culture to the achievement of the SDGs.
A joint declaration of interest will be the subject of a call for signature to the members of the FICS and the partners present. A thematic coalition Culture Arts and Development could result and give itself a roadmap for the years to come
