We exist to promote the recognition of culture as vital for human development that responds to our national identity and diversity. At CCFU, we define culture as a constantly changing set of values, identities, traditions and aspirations that govern the way we relate as individuals, communities and nations. It is central to our well–being and to defining the ideal society we seek. We believe that the positive aspects of culture can be harnessed to bring about social and economic transformation. The Foundation therefore acts as a catalyst to promote an understanding of development, as seen through “cultural lenses”.
