  14. Introduction This chapter will examine the extent to which the 2005 Convention has opened up new opportunities for civil society and States Parties to work together on issues related to cultural policy, as well as the extent to which civil society has been able to engage with the processes of the Convention itself. It will explore what opportunities have been enabled by States Parties for civil society to engage, what independent actions civil society has taken and what capacity challenges civil society encounters in seeking to engage.

  17. Summary of actions taken • Summaries of key action types from QPRs: civil society-led, state-led • Use these to establish a typology of responses • Case study of a successful/sustainable action drawn from QPRs

  18. Four dimensions • Laws, regulations, policies – indicator 1, 2 • Access to financial resources – indicator 1 • Capacities – indicator 2 • Connections – indicator 2 • How enabling are these? • What have the changes and challenges been? • What have been the actions to improve these? • What is needed?
