Unesco and cultural industries in Gabon

By Landry Junior Tadou

This book is an analysis of the situation of Gabonese cultural industries from 2011 to 2017 through the cultural cooperation between UNESCO and the Gabonese state, following the adoption in 2011 of the normative instrument "The main lines of cultural policy in the Gabonese Republic". The author's analysis shows that the cultural industries in Gabon have difficulty developing because of a lack of a real cultural policy, a legislative and regulatory framework inadequate to the needs of these industries. Unesco for its part provides technical and financial support with development support projects for this sector, but a lack of cultural infrastructure, the absence of funding, and the high level of imports of cultural products do not favor the blossoming of the sector. In this perspective, the author advocates the adoption of a real cultural policy, a bank for the financing of cultural industries and professional training in cultural professions.
