CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga – National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) invites Central Luzon residents to submit proposals for their 2017 Grants Program. “The projects must be in harmony with the Culture and Arts strategic development outcomes namely culture as pillar for sustainable development established, creativity and diversity of artistic expression advanced, and strong sense of nationhood and pride in being Filipino through culture and arts promoted,” NCCA Eligibility and Grants Processing Unit Head Christopher Lucindo said. NCCA has set two categories of proposals: Category “A” are projects which have been conceptualized during various levels of planning workshops following the identified needs of the locality and where specific outputs and deliverables have been defined. Moreover, Category “B” calls for project proposals conceptualized by proponents with due consideration to the important concerns cited in the project brief and aligned to the identified NCCA priorities and outcomes. The 10 common themes or shared content of the projects include Integrated and Area-based Culture Development Projects; Institutionalization of Culture-focused Programs in Local Government Units; Projects focused on Culture and Environmental Management or Climate Change Adaptation-Disaster Risk Reduction-related Projects; Conduct of Culture and Arts Summit, Congress and Island-wide Festivals; and Support for Community Arts Festival. Also, Production of New Creative Works and Cultural Studies; Capability Enhancement and/or Cultural Exchange Projects; Projects on Cultural Research and Publications; Massive Cultural Promotions; and Indigenous Peoples Youth Leadership Training on Heritage Management. “Those who are interested must be able to submit their proposals on or before midnight of September 30, 2016,” Lucindo added.
