The objective of the project is to develop a global Cultural and Creative Industries Indicators Framework based on the 2025 UNESCO FCS Concepts and Definitions and produce the corresponding conceptual and methodological manual.
The project will be implemented in two stages. In the initial stage, a CCI Indicators Framework will be developed. Throughout this phase, the framework will be reviewed by the UIS CCI Indicators Advisory Group and will undergo a comprehensive global consultation led by UIS.
Upon finalization of the CCI Indicators Framework, the second stage will involve the production of the corresponding Conceptual and Methodological Manual, intended for use by UNESCO, national governments, and the research community.
