Capacity building needs

Needs, in the context of capacity building for the effective management of World Heritage properties, to:

• strengthen the knowledge, abilities, skills and behaviour of people with direct responsibilities for heritage conservation and management,
• improve institutional structures and processes through empowering decision-makers and policy-makers, and
• introduce a more dynamic relationship between heritage and its context and, in turn, greater reciprocal benefits by a more inclusive approach,such that the OUV of the properties will be protected effectively and in a sustainable way.
