Through the workshops on implementation of the Convention and on inventorying, both the Dominican Republic and especially Cuba have received advice, technical assistance and support on their work on intangible cultural heritage, sustaining projects that contribute to the safeguarding of the intangible cultural expressions. Aruba has received support and policy advice on several occasions and more recently Haiti has already benefited from one policy advice mission. Following the workshops, field work has been done so far in the Dominique Republic and Cuba in a selected community for the participants to gain a real hands-on experience.
