The implementation in the countries and cities aims to mobilize and train national and local teams, providing capacity building materials and strengthening data collection and analysis processes. For each country and city, the implementation will contribute to targeted dissemination and advocacy. Through these activities, the countries and cities will operationalize and test an innovative tool that enables national and local authorities to measure the contribution of culture to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The outcome of the data collected will be reflected in the elaboration of culture profiles, providing the outlook of the role and contribution of culture to sustainable development across the four thematic dimensions of the framework.
