These are programmes and projects financed with extra budgetary resources received from certain countries and they supplement the activities financed with regular resources, which alone are insufficient for carrying out all mandates.
Project
"Strengthening the capacity building of Suriname and Dutch Caribbean Islands for the implementation of the Conventions for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage"
The UNESCO Kingston cluster Office for the Caribbean in coordination with the UNESCO Havana Office and the Intangible Culture Section at UNESCO Headquarters coordinated the project “Strengthening the Capacity Building of Suriname and Dutch Caribbean Islands for the Implementation of the Conventions for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage”.
The project was launched in Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao, Saba, St. Eustatius, St. Maarten and Suriname, with the support of a contribution from the Government of The Netherlands to the Intangible Cultural Heritage Fund at UNESCO. It is part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage Section’s global strategy for strengthening national capacities for safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage. The project follows on from the 2013 meeting held in Aruba, which assessed the needs and requirements for jointly and individually implementing the 2003 Convention.
