Culture and the Creative Economy in Colombia: Leveraging the Orange Economy (Local Economic and Employment Development

By OECD Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development

In 2017, Colombia launched a novel public policy to stimulate the creative economy, building on the success of previous policy initiatives to support the cultural and creative sectors. The Orange Economy policy is unique for its transversal approach to supporting the creative economy and mainstreaming culture across diverse policy portfolios, beyond cultural policy. The report provides a comparative overview of Colombia's culture and creative sectors relative to OECD peers and reviews progress in policy implementation. It provides a specific focus on Colombia's push to foster creative districts as tool for local development across the country, including policy examples based on nine districts across the globe. The report maps the financial ecosystem for the creative economy in Colombia. Recommendations draw on international good practice to suggest ways Colombia can best leverage creative economy opportunities.
