The main objective of the “Support programme for the protection and enhancement of cultural heritage” is to promote cultural heritage as a key contributor to economic and human development and to contribute to its identification, protection and upgrading.

The programme also aims also to strengthen capacities in the sector at both central and local level (methodological tools, equipment and training) and to bring technical support in terms of methods, management tools, and knowledge in terms of cultural goods inventory.

The programme focuses on four areas of intervention: the improvement of inventory methodology, the creation of vocational training courses, the reinforcement of cross-industry management in the field, and the upgrading of cultural heritage.
