This study by Sofya Shahab focuses on the ways in which the Cultural Protection Fund intersects with the Integrated Review (IR), the objectives of Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) funding and the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office’s (FDCO) International Development Strategy (IDS).
From the research, it is possible to see how heritage interventions, such as the CPF – and most specifically its community oriented approach – acts as a mode of operating within other spaces and areas. This includes promoting open societies by enhancing understanding and tolerance of other cultures and groups, furthering opportunities for women and girls, and upholding human rights and identities by establishing connections to place and preserving cultural and religious practices.
