Flexibility and responsiveness in the face of new challenges in 2020
The International alliance for the protection of heritage in conflict areas (ALIPH) is the only global fund exclusively dedicated to the protection and rehabilitation of cultural heritage in conflict zones and post-conflict situations. It was created in response to the massive destruction of cultural heritage that began to escalate 20 years ago, predominantly as a result of terrorism and war in the Middle East and the Sahel.
By the end of 2020, ALIPH had committed more than USD 35 million to support over 100 projects in 22 countries on 4 continents. Wherever possible, ALIPH strives to finance projects that are carried out on the ground. In all cases, ALIPH’s objective is to work hand in hand with local partners, authorities, and communities.
