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.

FPI Director visited Kyiv Oblast. The region bore the brunt of the initial stages of Russia’s full-scale invasion and suffered nearly constant shelling for weeks afterwards. The 81 localities located close to the Chernobyl exclusion zone, provide a vivid snapshot of Ukraine's broader challenges. The EU-UNDP programme of support in Ivankiv embraces a build-back better approach, comprising multiple stages aimed at addressing current challenges and enhancing the capacity and resilience of local and mine action authorities. The ongoing recovery initiatives in the community mark the initial phase of a comprehensive rehabilitation plan, geared towards mitigating critical hazards before reconstruction can begin.
