National Council of Culture
The National Council of Culture is a participation space of the National System of Culture, which was created by the general law of culture in 1997 and seeks to enable cultural development and access to the community of cultural goods and services. In this Council, a dialogue must be established between civil society and public entities that advises the Ministry of Culture on the formulation, execution and follow-up of policies, plans, programs and cultural projects at the national level. It is also responsible for monitoring public spending in the sector and must ensure the protection of the country's cultural heritage and the promotion of culture and the arts. The National Council of Culture has representatives from the national government and the communities, trade unions, associations, academia, funds for the cultural sector and of the different cultural expressions, as well as from the educational sector. Also, it counts on representatives of the National Arts and Culture Councils and from different social sector communities such as indigenous, black, and disabled persons.
