The
Consultancy for Conservation and Development specialises in projects which link
the conservation cultural and natural heritage with human development and
poverty alleviation. It has provided
experts and served as a partner in international joint ventures and consortia
for the implementation of projects, funded by donors which have included UNDP,
UNESCO, the World Bank, the European Union and the governments of
Denmark
,
Japan
, the
Netherlands
and
Norway
.
In addition, the Consultancy has specific experience in project design and
resource mobilisation on behalf of local partners and welcomes approaches from
authorities and NGOs who have project concepts for which they seek funding.
The following are a small selection of the development projects which have been
implemented or prepared; others are
in active preparation:
Lalitpur,
Nepal
:
A two-year project for
improved urban management and economic diversification through tourism
development in the World Heritage city of
Lalitpur
was designed and implemented for Chester City Council in partnership with the
Municipality
of
Feltre
, with funding provided by the European Unions Asia Urbs Programme.
Archaeological site of Pere,
Turkey:
the
consultancy assisted the Governorship of Adiyaman to prepare a project for Pere,
a Commagene- and Roman-period site where many new rock-cut tombs have recently
been discovered. This will provide
the province with a second important archaeological site, in addition to the
Nemrut World Heritage Site, and will encourage longer visitor stays and
consequently increase tourism income.
The Citadel of Erbil, Iraq,
stands on a 26-metre high archaeological tel
representing an estimated 7,000 years of human occupation.
The site therefore represents the earliest development or urban life,
which commenced in the
Fertile Crescent
in the Neolithic period. In 2004,
we developed a proposal for a conservation management plan, which would be
linked to the reversal of destruction of some buildings during the regime of
Saddam Hussein, the development of tourist facilities and the nomination of the
site to the UNESCO World Heritage List. In
June 2008, UNESCO signed a contract with us to prepare the management plan.
One of the unique features of the Citadel is that it has no city wall
the defenses consist of the outside walls of the outer ring of Ottoman-period
houses
Donors
conferences have
been organised on behalf of UNDP and UNESCO in
Armenia
(inaugurated by the Prime Minister and the Director-General of UNESCO),
Nepal
(inaugurated by the Prime Minister) and
Vietnam
. For each, a portfolio of projects
was prepared and presented to donors.
