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.

Within the hard economic situation, UNDP is establishing an agroforestry site to serve the beekeepers of Akkar in their winter production of honey. As they are faced with seasonal climatic challenges, around 240 beekeepers from the area are obliged to rent lands at lower altitudes to settle their beehives and undergo the winter seasons. To minimize their expenses and protect their honey production, this site is being established in Tal Abbas, a village in the Sahel Union of Akkar, in collaboration with the municipality of Tal Abbas and the beekeepers cooperative of Akkar. As it is being implemented by around 50 Lebanese and Syrian men and women of Akkar, as a short-term income-generating opportunity for them, the site will be planted by winter flowering trees and herbs to ensure winter productivity of the beekeepers. The site will host around 100 beehives and plant around 500 flowering trees. Not only will it serve for honey production, but the species planted on this land will ensure fruits and herb production that will generate the income needed for the maintenance and operational management of the site.

As part of its climate priorities, Kenya is focusing its efforts on the preservation, recovery and expansion of this precious environment and the biodiversity it holds. The work offers multiple benefits, from halting desertification to reducing greenhouse gases emissions, while at the same time strengthening the resilience of local communities that depend on forest ecosystems for their livelihoods.
Understanding these benefits, the Government of Kenya took leadership by committing in the country’s 2010 constitution to achieving 10 % tree cover across its land. In June 2022. As long-standing partners supporting the realization of Kenya’s climate and development objectives, UNDP and Japan came forward to contribute to this unprecedented effort. They joined forces with the Ministry of Environment and Forestry and partners on the ground to strengthen restoration and protection activities in the Kaptagat Forest Ecosystem, the Kakamega Forest and the Lake Magadi Ecosystem.
