The Dahshur World Heritage Site Mobilization for Cultural Heritage for Community Development
Egypt's archaeological and cultural heritage is unique in its wealth and abundance. However, continuous efforts are necessary to support the Government preservation and sustainable development of the country historical assets and antiquities. Since the significance of this UNESCO World Heritage site to both Egypt and the whole world cultural heritage, this joint program will seek to effectively ensure that the intervention is fully amalgamated into the Memphite Necropolis Management Plan, as delineated by Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities in coordination with UNESCO and its World Heritage Centre.
Together with the counterpart agency IMC, we run a craft and design project for selected groups of MSME'S and handicrafts producers, to train them to use of local tradition icons in handicrafts production, with the aim of creating the Dahshour collection, and coordinating the technical and substantive program. We set up a local field design team to develop local expertise and capacities for implementation through workshops.
