ICOMOS, in partnership with the African World Heritage Fund, is currently developing a Capacity Building programme whose aim is to enhance the professional expertise of African heritage professionals to be involved in World Heritage processes.
UNESCO and the Advisory Bodies to the World Heritage Committee – ICCROM (International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property), ICOMOS and IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature) - have released a newly revised toolkit for assessing the effectiveness of management systems of World Heritage properties. Enhancing Our Heritage Toolkit 2.0 offers a World Heritage-specific methodology of management effectiveness assessment that can be applied to cultural, natural and mixed sites.
The workshop, which took place between November 13 and November 20, 2023 in Port Louis, Mauritius, saw the active participation of 15 professionals working with World Heritage properties in Mauritius and 10 professionals working with World Heritage properties in Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.

World Heritage Resource Manuals
ICOMOS contributed to a series of resource manuals jointly prepared by the Advisory Bodies (ICOMOS, IUCN and ICCROM) and the UNESCO World Heritage Centre. These manuals contribute to training and capacity-building in areas where States Parties and World Heritage Site managers require increased support, such as management of natural and cultural World Heritage, preparation of nominations and disaster risk management. See the World Heritage Resource Manuals
Connecting Practice project in collaboration with IUCN
The World Heritage Convention brings together nature and culture in a single international conservation instrument. Nevertheless, a divide is still often observed between these two areas. The Connecting Practice Project is a joint initiative of ICOMOS and IUCN launched in 2013 to promote a more global consideration of cultural and natural heritage within the framework of the World Heritage Convention. It aims to develop conceptual and practical approaches that recognize the interaction between natural and cultural values of heritage properties. The first stage of the project ended in 2015.
