This process is designed to make it possible to provide rapid support for measures aimed at protecting heritage that is under serious threat of destruction or deterioration.

In order to be eligible, projects must demonstrate the necessity of rapid action to cease or prevent the irremediable degradation of heritage.

To respond to emergency situations, requests are handled throughout the year.

ALIPH has launched a USD 10 million Call for Projects to protect cultural heritage from the impact of climate change.

This initiative, which prioritizes projects in Africa, will support practical and field-based projects to protect or rehabilitate cultural heritage. It will also finance capacity building for local professionals and promote applied research, including in areas that address the advancement and transfer of traditional knowledge.

With this call, ALIPH is looking to support projects in the following categories: 

• Protection, conservation, rehabilitation
• Capacity-building and knowledge transfer
• Actionable research

The Call is open to NGOs/CSOs, heritage protection institutions, private organizations, universities, and research centers.

To be considered, projects need to fulfil certain criteria, in particular relevance, quality, feasibility and sustainability, and impact. 

Read the Guidelines to learn about the eligibility requirements and selection process. 

Apply before 21 November 2024, 3 pm CET.

The final decision will be communicated to applicants by July 2025.
