Question

Give 3 reasons why government from caricom countries provide funding to support the region's cultural practices. (in social studies)​

Answer 1

As an area that has fought for independence from colonialization and European powers, governments from CARICOM (Caribbean Communities Organization) countries provide funding to support the region's cultural practices for multiple reasons.

According to the CARICOM Regional Cultural Policy, the three main reasons for government funding toward cultural support include: to provide people who are trained in the arts and other areas of culture, to establish and maintain cultural preservation institutions, and to ensure proper management of cultural institutions and heritage.

Doing the aforementioned things will ensure that care is taken to preserve the cultural heritage of an area that has received much interaction and assimilation with world powers. This interaction can be threatening to the stability of cultural preservation by those who may be ignorant, and/or untrained, in the preservation important heritage factors. The CARICOM nations are also striving to maintain independence and ensure during the development process in developing Caribbean countries that they may remain self-sufficient.
