UNESCO Annual Report (2001)
Abstract:
The Annual Report for UNESCO/Kathmandu for the year 2001 reflects the development and growth of the field office's activities in several priority areas. Operating in a climate of severe financial constraints a focused approach has proved vital to the delivery of satisfactory results. The Education Unit has concentrated its efforts in promoting and expanding the Community Learning Centre (CLC) initiative, which began in 1999.Important work in the field of combatting the traffic in girls, and the development of more and better educational materials and training, also continued during 2001. For the Culture Unit activities have been divided between community level work on small-scale heritage restoration projects, intangible culture preservation activities, and advocacy work with our partners in His Majesty's Government. Actions to preserve intangible culture have centred on language and the preparation of a comprehensive survey of the numerous indigenous and endangered languages of Nepal. The World Heritage Site at Lumbini - the birthplace of the Lord Buddha, has been the focus of much attention. The Culture Unit launched a high-profile campaign to raise awareness of the problems and actions needed to combat the illicit traffic in Nepal's cultural property. This mix of grassroots activity and government-level advocacy is also likely to continue in the future.
