Description
Initiated by the General Secretariat of the Pacific Community, this project projected wide support for the development of cultural industries in three countries: Fiji, Samoa and the Solomon Islands. Strengthening the cultural policies and regulatory frameworks, operational and institutional capacity-building, and the development of a toolbox were among the key activities of the project.

In each project country, the ministries responsible for culture lead the strategic direction of cultural and creative industries development;
- The project created an in-depth entrepreneurship manual;
- Several entrepreneurship workshops for cultural producers were carried out.
