The International Federation of Coalitions for Cultural Diversity (IFCCD) is the voice of cultural professionals around the world. The founding members of the Federation total 43 national coalitions for Cultural Diversity grouping in the aggregate more than 600 professional culture organizations representing creators, artists, independent producers, distributors, broadcasters and editors in the publishing, motion picture, television, music, performing arts and visual arts fields.
The IFCCD was founded in Seville, Spain, on September 19, 2007.
ITS MISSION
• To support the ratification of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions in order to ensure that this Convention obtains a minimum of 150 signatory States by 2011.• To ensure that civil society participates actively in the Convention’s implementation, notably through the Federation’s engagement with the work of the Convention’s operational bodies, and by supporting actions that strengthen the application of the Convention at the national, regional and international levels.
• To track and assess the implementation of the Convention and to pool the monitoring work done by each individual coalition.
• To ensure that States and governments refrain from making any liberalization commitments with respect to the exchange of goods and services in all cultural sectors, which could be contemplated during bilateral, regional or international trade negotiations.
• To promote the exchange of information and dialogue about best practices in the area of cultural policies at the national, regional and international levels.
• To encourage and support the creation of new national coalitions for cultural diversity in all regions of the world, and especially in countries which have not yet ratified the UNESCO Convention.
• To promote the Convention to the general public, to cultural professionals, and in the media by organizing international campaigns.
• To distribute the latest information on cultural diversity and trade negotiations.
• To support national coalitions, upon request, in national awareness campaigns with respect to specific issues that are compatible with the fundamental objectives of the Federation.
In 2007, IFCCD replaced the International Liaison Committee of Coalitions for Cultural Diversity.
This committee was created in 2003 as an initiative of the Coalitions for Cultural Diversity to facilitate cooperation, development of common positions and actions. Particularly, the ILC promoted the elaboration of a convention on cultural diversity by UNESCO.

The ILC delegates participated as observers in the international sessions of negotiations for the production of the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, thus ensuring that the voice of cultural professionals was heard during this labour intensive process.
The implementation of the Convention, on March 18, 2007 gave a new swing to the ILC action which then became the International Federation of the Coalitions for Cultural Diversity.
The Federation is incorporated in Canada and has its Secretariat in Montreal. The French Coalition for Cultural Diversity ensures the representation of the IFCCD at the UNESCO in Paris.
