Implementing, Monitoring and Evaluating Cultural Policies: A Pacific Toolkit

In recent years, Pacific Island countries have made significant moves to develop public policy that supports cultural development. A primary goal has been to create a national cultural policy through a European Union funded project. In 2010 and 2011, the Human Development Programme of the SPC supported six countries to undertake a mapping, planning and policy development process that would allow governments, institutions and communities to work together to structure their cultural sectors.
