The Member Hub is IFACCA’s knowledge and evidence platform for Members, built upon IFACCA’s framework for collecting and presenting cultural policy and institutional information.
As part of our 2021-2026 Strategy, we are committed to developing knowledge on the policies, governance, operations and resources of public agencies that support arts and culture worldwide. This knowledge is essential for IFACCA’s National Members who wish to understand the methods used by others, set benchmarks, and evaluate or change the operations of their institution.
We recognise that National Members need comprehensive, reliable information to make informed decisions and require data that is both relevant to their specific contexts and comparable across different countries and institutions. This need for tailored, yet standardised information has led us to create the Member Hub - IFACCA’s exclusive information platform for Members, which offers data and evidence on the contexts and operational methods of IFACCA’s National Members worldwide.
The Member Hub is a secure self-service platform, comprising online profiles for National Members of the Federation. This bespoke platform, built and managed entirely in-house, offers resources for Members with insights into common areas of work and aggregate analysis. Each profile includes a resource library and interactive dashboards presenting time series data. The Member Hub’s framework and methodologies were developed by IFACCA through an analysis of Members’ needs and identified gaps in existing data and knowledge within the broader cultural policy domain.
The Secretariat manages the entire process, from data collection to analysis and presentation. The Secretariat works closely with IFACCA National Members to gather and process information, including some information that isn't available in the public domain. This collaborative approach ensures the relevance and accuracy of our data.
The Member Hub provides key knowledge and data for our National Members across the globe and reflects our commitment to delivering trusted advisory services and insights.
The Member Hub is exclusively accessible to IFACCA Members. For further information, please reach out to us at info@ifacca.org.
