Indeed, capacity building is crucial for more balanced representation in #WorldHeritage. We thank you Ambassador Kano for honoring the @African_WH_Fund invitation to our “Capacity Building in Africa” event and for your valuable input.
Capacity building can make a difference. Africa should be more represented in #WorldHeritage, like Japan in Rugby World Cup! Pleasure to participate in the side event of world heritage capacity building in Africa on the occasion of #WorldHeritageCommittee @unesco.
