Africa agenda for UNESCO meeting ready



TANZANIA, the deputy chair of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation’s World Heritage Committee (WHC), has just set the continental agenda for the committee meeting in France later this month

Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism, Major General Gaudence Milanzi said over the weekend that Tanzania being a WHC member has just convened a special meeting here to lay grounds for the Paris meeting slated for October 24 through 25, 2016.

“We have set one position and we will go to Paris with single agenda as African Members, not each country on its own and that was the main purpose for the Arusha meeting,” said Major General Milanzi.

He said one of the issues to be tabled is how countries in Africa can use advanced, modern technology in tapping gas, oils and mineral resources from protected areas like National Parks, Game Reserves and World Heritage Sites without interfering with nature or destroying the original conservation environment up.

The WHC meets once a year and bringing together representatives from 21 of the States Parties to the Convention elected by their General Assembly.

Initially this year’s meeting was scheduled for Turkey but some political unrest in the country compelled the postponement and relocation of the meeting to France.

The committee is responsible for the implementation of the World Heritage Convention, defining the use of the World Heritage Fund and allocation of financial assistance upon requests from States Parties.

It has the final say on whether a property is inscribed on the World Heritage List.

It examines reports on the state of conservation of inscribed properties and asks States Parties to take action when properties are not being properly managed. It also decides on the inscription or deletion of properties on the List of World Heritage in Danger.
