About the African World Heritage Fund
The African World Heritage Fund (AWHF) is an intergovernmental organization created in 2006 by the African Union and UNESCO to support the effective conservation and protection of cultural and natural heritage of Outstanding Universal Value in Africa. The main objective of the AWHF is to address the challenges faced by African States Parties in the implementation of the 1972 World Heritage Convention, specifically, the underrepresentation of African sites on the World Heritage List and the insufficient conservation and management of these sites. The Fund became a Category II Centre under the auspices of UNESCO in 2010 hence, an official and privileged partner of UNESCO’s World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies of the World Heritage Committee (ICOMOS, ICCROM, and IUCN). The Fund is hosted by the Government of the Republic of South Africa on behalf of the African continent.
The AWHF maintains a close relationship with the African Union, fostering significant synergies between UNESCO’s Priority Africa and the African Union’s Agenda 2063. This is achieved by providing targeted support to African States Parties, to strengthen the implementation of the World Heritage Convention:
- Contributing to increasing the number of African properties on the World Heritage List.
- Providing technical and financial support to enhance the conservation and management of World Heritage properties in Africa, which also includes the removal of properties from the List of World Heritage in Danger.
