This is a list of programs and initiatives in the cultural sector that are promoted by international agencies and that present either a similar objective or a complementary goal of the Inter American Cultural Policy Observatory.

Currently, the list describes some of the initiatives and programs of three international organizations: El CONVENIO ANDRES BELLO, the ORGANIZATION OF IBERO-AMERICAN STATES FOR EDUCATION, SCIENCE AND CULTURE , and the UNESCO. It is worth noting that the information presented in this list encompasses a general overview of the websites of these organizations and has not been provided directly by them.

The information is under a continuous process of actualization and it does not pretend to be, at the moment, an exhaustive list of the Initiatives and Programs of the International Agencies, but a list of reference to support the work and the objectives of the ICPO.
