Guidelines for Managing the Integration of Culture into Development Programmes (2nd Edition)
Synopsis
Sharing common goals, the ASEAN Foundation, through the support of the Japan-ASEAN Solidarity Fund, joined forces to partner with SEAMEO-SPAFA to conduct 10 workshops on Managing the Integration of Culture into Development Programmes during 2003- 2005. Well over 300 participants have now shared their ideas and voiced their concerns on the many issues that the topic of culture and development raises. This publication is an outcome from those workshops and it is hoped that the result will be to better equip the reader to address some of the major concerns facing the region, namely, poverty, health, and education.
