Role of partners
Each partnership is different with regard to the partner and the role a partner wishes to undertake. A partnership is first and foremost an interaction between preservation of World Heritage and various stakeholders at the national and international level. This meeting of common goals and shared willingness to act is at the core of the PACT initiative. How do our partners take part in our actions?
Conservation Activities
Development and implementation of projects
One of the first activities related to PACT is the implementation of a project by a partner for World Heritage conservation.
Participation in the preservation of sites
Partners also engage to support the completion of projects which are already underway on a site or at a series of sites.
World Heritage Promotion
Heightening public awareness
In order to reach the largest public possible, partners relay the message about World Heritage values through promotion and greater visibility.
Mobilization of Resources
Sharing of know-how, expertise and technique
Expertise acquired is one of the main resources derived from partners. Common partnership activities include providing training, equipment donation and staff.
Financial Support
Contribution for the World Heritage Fund
Partners can directly contribute to the World Heritage Fund to support UNESCO's action.
Financing of activities
Partners can directly finance a project set up by the World Heritage Centre.
Fundraising
The partner can use its business relations and customers as well as its distribution network to raise funds for the World Heritage.
