| Summary: |
The AFRICA 2009 programme, launched in 1998, is aimed at improving
conditions for the conservation of immovable cultural property in
Africa through better integrating it into a sustainable development
framework. Since its inception, the programme has successfully implemented
activities at both the regional and site levels. The programme is
organized with assistance from the Swedish International Development
Agency (Sida), The National Heritage Board of Sweden, the Unesco-WHC
and the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Norway, Finland, and Italy.
The aim of the course is to bring together a group of African
heritage professionals to build a greater awareness of the most
important issues in the area of conservation planning and management.
The course will derive a deepening of knowledge of the problems
and challenges faced in carrying out conservation work in African
contexts.
DEADLINE: 20 April 2007. Applications must reach ICCROM by this
date. Only complete applications will be accepted. |
