ICH NGOs in the East African Region: Contributions and ProspectsAcross the East African region, intangible cultural heritage is situated and ICHoriented NGOs evolve in a challenging environment, where the promotion and preservation of the region’s diverse and rich intangible heritage is considered a low priority, and generally unhelpful for meeting these countries’ considerable development challenges. As a result of the negative connotations given to culture—due to a variety of\nfactors, both historical, religious and social—and, therefore, to the very limited resources that are made available for its preservation in all its forms, few NGOs are active in this field, and their activities are both fragmented and poorly resourced. Nevertheless their numbers are increasing, their range of activities is widening, and coordination mechanisms (including with their respective governments) are emerging. This gives hope for a future where NGOs active in the ICH field will be in a better position to make the important contribution that is sought of them.Year2014NationSouth Korea
