Building capacities for safeguarding living heritage and preparing nominations to the Lists of the 2003 Convention in Africa
The project is dedicated to safeguarding and promoting the rich diversity of intangible cultural heritage in Africa with a focus on countries that do not yet have any element of living heritage inscribed on the Lists of the 2003 Convention. It aims to strengthen the skills and knowledge of States Parties in the region to prepare nomination files for the Lists of the 2003 Convention, ensuring that Africa’s living heritage receives greater recognition and representation. The project is generously funded by the Government of Japan.
This meeting is part of the project’s inception phase and will bring together the nine countries proposed to join the project for an exchange (namely, Comoros, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Eswatini, Gabon, Guinea Bissau, Lesotho, Sao Tome and Principe and South Sudan).
The overall goal of the meeting is to inform these countries about the project and solicit their feedback regarding their possible participation in this initiative.
