The Ministry of Social Development is in the process of developing a culture policy for Anguilla. The policy will be blue print for the use of Anguilla’s culture and related resources to develop the island.
The process is being managed by a committee established by Executive Council (The Culture Policy Development Committee CPDC). To date the CPDC has drafted a plan of action for the development of the policy, begun a review of literature and is now embarking on a series of public consultations to identify the key issues for the policy to address.
Further information can be obtained by contacting, Chanelle Petty-Barrett, Chairperson of the CPDC at chanelle.petty@gov.ai or Lenox Proctor, Secretary of the CPDC at 498-3792 or email lenox.proctor@gov.ai

The Action plan on Cultural Policies for Development adopted by the Intergovernmental Conference on Cultural Policies for Development, Sweden, April 1998 defines culture as:
“A set of distinctive spiritual, material, intellectual and emotional features of society or a social group. It encompasses, in addition to art and literature, lifestyles, ways of living together, values systems, traditions and beliefs.”
It aslo went on to say that “The essential aims of cultural policy are to establish objectives, create structures and secure adequate resources in order to create an environment conducive to human fulfilment.”
