WorldCP was an online database of cultural policy profiles for countries worldwide, which allowed users to monitor and analyse global trends in arts and cultural policy. We launched WorldCP in 2011 as a tool for policy makers, researchers, advocates and the global community. We closed the programme in 2017 when we revised our work in line with the needs of our members.
The WorldCP website is no longer maintained and the URL is no longer owned by IFACCA, however, static historic profiles can be accessed below and via the websites of our former programme partners for
- WorldCP-Asia: the Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF)
- WorldCP MENA Region: Al-Mawred Al-Thaqafy, Ettijahat-Independent Culture and the European Cultural Foundation (ECF).
Please note that the profiles include information current at the time of original publication, which may no longer be accurate. As such, we recommend their use for historic reference only.
WorldCP profiles follow the structure developed by the Council of Europe and the ERICarts Institute for the Compendium of Cultural Policies and Trends in Europe between 1998 and 2017. The Compendium is now run by a membership association which continues to publish current information for countries in Europe at culturalpolicies.net
