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.

One means of nurturing the symbiosis between healthy local soils and native seeds is via homemade local fertilisers.
Locals sniff out a particular forest soil bacteria and then cultivate the microbial community, supplementing its growth with sugar/molasses and wheat bran. After two months of brewing – one anaerobic, one aerobic - the resulting slurry is a potent source of soil nutrients.
‘It’s an agroecological revolution. With those techniques, there is no need to cut new patch of forest, farmers can get the bounty and the fertility of the forest and harnessing it. They’re finding the fertility of the jungle and cultivating it.’ Sebastien Proust, UNDP SGP Mexico

To mark International Volunteer Day 2015, over 200 youth cleared rubbish and planted trees in east Kabul’s Ahmad Shah Baba Maina district. They sent a clear message that, with a little effort, anyone can transform their streets and parks into clean, livable spaces for children, families and communities.
This celebration of environmentalism and volunteerism was led by the Ahmad Shah Baba Maina Youth Society, in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the National Environment Protection Agency and the Ministry of Information and Culture.
Volunteers cleaned up two major parks, planted nearly 200 saplings and scattered grass seeds that will ensure a better environment and safer space for children and youth to play for years to come. The campaign also inspired youth from nearby communities to clean up their own streets and parks.
