Description
The UNESCO Asia-Pacific Awards for Cultural Heritage Conservation ('Awards') recognizes exemplary efforts by individuals and organizations to restore or conserve structures, places and properties of heritage value in the region. It encourages other property owners to undertake conservation projects within their communities, either independently or by public-private partnerships.
Since 2000, the Awards programme has recognized 265 winners from 27 Asia-Pacific countries for their thorough understanding of their sites; their sound technical achievements; and their project's significant social and policy impacts at the local, national and regional levels. By recognizing these practices, the Awards programme has contributed to meaningful achievements in advancing the regional conversation about what constitutes cultural heritage, who has a stake in its stewardship, and how cultural heritage can contribute to the sustainable well-being of cities, societies and the environment.
In 2021, UNESCO and the Ng Teng Fong Charitable Foundation (NTFCF) have entered into a strategic partnership to promote practices of transformative heritage conservation in the Asia-Pacific region. Under this strategic partnership, the Awards programme has launched new initiatives such as the Heritage Apprentice and the Sustainable Heritage Management Masterclass to amplify the impacts of the programme through capacity-building.
