Overcoming barriers:
Human mobility and development
Human development is about putting people at the centre of development. It is about people realizing their potential, increasing their choices and enjoying the freedom to lead lives they value. Since 1990, annual Human Development Reports have explored challenges including poverty, gender, democracy, human rights, cultural liberty, globalization, water scarcity and climate change.
Migration, both within and beyond borders, has become an increasingly prominent theme in domestic and international debates, and is the topic of the 2009 Human Development Report. This report breaks new ground in applying a human development approach to the study of migration.

Although the historic city of Famagusta existed since Hellenistic and Byzantine times, many of its architectural treasures suffered from deterioration over time.
The Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage was able to bring Famagusta at the center of their work since 2014 when conservation works to the Othello Tower started.
The support to the revitalization of the walled city of Famagusta continues with conservation works to the Martinengo Bastion, Ravelin/Land Gate, and the city-side portion of the Walls between Arsenal and Sea Gate. These are three of seven projects that, thanks to European Union funding and UNDP support, the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage is currently carrying out in Famagusta Walled City. The other ongoing projects are conservation works to: St. Mary Church of Armenians, St Mary Church of Carmel (Carmelite), St. Anne Church, the Mescit of Tabakhane/Tanner’s Mosque (Jacobite Church). New designs are under preparation for Canbulat and for Seagate will also start soon.
These projects together form part of what the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage refers to as “Martinengo Cluster”. Clusters are critical mass areas of monuments identified by the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage to promote their reintegration in the topography of the walled city.
All these projects are fully funded by the European Union for a total amount of more than 4 Million Euro invested in Famagusta’s heritage so far since 2012. Working together on Famagusta gives the Technical Committee on Cultural Heritage the opportunity to develop a joint vision for the city, and UNDP fully supports these efforts, convinced that cultural heritage conservation is playing a pivotal role in bringing Cypriots together around their shared heritage.
