4. Relevance of the pre-selected project proposal
4.1. What are the main current needs and priorities in your country in terms of cultural policies and/or cultural industries?: 
Currently, Colombia is working on strengthening the “Creative Economy” sector. Therefore, it is essential to map the Creative Industries in the country, in order to overcome persistent information gaps. It is also essential to strengthen and multiply efforts, sharing experiences and transferring best practices, incorporating into public responsibility the validation of the commercial dimension of culture and creativity, and its articulation with technology, infrastructure, access to markets, etc. This is why, it is essential to integrate the management capacity of the NGOs to the processes of value aggregation in a clear and efficient manner, overcoming their dependence on the public sector and diversifying their participation.
4.2. How do the objectives of this pre-selected project proposal meet the current needs and priorities of the country in terms of cultural policies and/or cultural industries?: 
This project contributes to the needs and priorities of the country in terms of cultural industries, because it aims to strengthen the Creative Industries in the city of Cali with the support of 16 small enterprises from the cultural sector. It is a project that can contribute to strengthen the cultural economy in Colombia, because the support and the knowledge they are going to transmit to those enterprises, can be replicated in enterprises from other cities.
4.3. To what extent do you expect this pre-selected project proposal to have an impact on the country’s cultural policies and/or cultural industries?: 
The training of those enterprises can strengthen the market of cultural industries in the city, and therefore, the understanding of the local administration about the way the market works and the incentives they need to apply in order to reinforce the cultural economy at the local level. And, of course, every initiative has a potential to be replicated at the national level, benefiting the whole country in the long term.
5. Other information
