These are the proceedings of the conference, "Culture Counts," which was premised upon the importance of culture for sustainable development. Its objectives were to 1) promote expansion of economic analysis in, and resources available for, culture in sustainable development programs; 2) expand the range of institutions and actors involved in culture with a development perspective; and 3) increase the instruments to be used for these programs. Anticipated outcomes were for the Conference to 1) help foster a series of proposals that could contribute to future collaborative actions on culture and development among international organizations, including UNESCO, the World Bank, the private sector, and governments; 2) provide a forum for governments and other partners, including representatives from the private sector and foundations, to consider new initiatives for dedicating funds to cultural initiatives; 3) promote initiatives that result in developing more analyses and methodologies to underpin considerations by governments, key international, and regional financial institutions to finance cultural projects that advance sustainable development; 4) provide a forum to consider special accounts that enable international institutions and governments to strengthen their expertise in culture, expand the pipeline of projects relating to culture, and establish newly-defined policies and institutional capacity building; and 5) publish proceedings and other work on the Internet.
