Working with representatives from member and participating countries of Tehran ICH Centre, develop a better understanding of the role of NGOs in the 2003 Convention and identify and gather information on such bodies/entities in each country.
This project that was envisaged for implementation in FY 2023-2024 and effective steps have been taken so far in implementing it in hybrid and online formats, needs to be continued in FY 2024-2025 to achieve the objectives and expected results outlined for it under the approved Action Plan by the Tehran ICH Centre.
This will involve, in FY 2024-25, holding one or more information-sharing meeting(s) with focal points from member and participating countries with the aim of exploring and explaining: the range and type of potentially relevant NGOs/CSOs in the regional countries; the role of NGOs within the 2003 Convention; the areas of policy-making and of ICH safeguarding in which they might be active; and the possibilities and process of accreditation to the Committee.
This will form the basis for a network of focal points and of non-governmental actors for a follow-up information-sharing activity to be undertaken in FY 2024-25. Once built, this network can form the basis for other activities of the Centre in the future and will be kept active on a permanent basis.
