Describe the main features of the policy/measure: 

According to the Strategic Plan for Culture the main pillar of the national policy is supporting and promoting artistic creation as well as ensuring access and participation in cultural life. Acknowledging the substantial role played by civil society in protecting and promoting contemporary cultural expressions, the Cultural Services aim at providing adequate financial resources to creators - organised groups representing cultural creators and artists, non profit organisations operating in the field of culture and individual artists/creators- to strengthen and encourage efforts of expressing artistic creativity. In this context a number of funding programmes have been formulated. One of these programmes is CULTURE Programme (2015-2020). The Strategic Plan places also special emphasis to broadening opportunities for access and participation and these is reflected to all the funding programmes which are currently in place.

The "Culture" Programme (2015-2020) fosters cultural expressions by providing targeted financial support to cultural activities and aiming to create the conditions for offering new opportunities and opening up new prospects of activity in the field of culture, on the basis of the needs of the culturally-active agencies, groups and individuals. This Programme is revised and implemented annually and provides funding to sectoral cultural activities in the area of literature, music, dance, visual arts, traditional culture, theatre and cinema. On the one hand, the Programme aims at systematically covering and responding to the broad range of demands and needs of culturally-active agencies, groups and individuals. On the other hand, it aspires to become the basis which will provide new prospects in the field of culture.
