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.

Razia Begum, 48, from a small and isolated island Char Jahir Uddin, Bhola district, says her family’s crops are damaged every year by flash floods and normal tides. It damages the soil long-term. Sometimes ponds used for drinking water and domestic purposes overflow and saline water pollutes the water, harming their health.
Under the ICBAAR Project, Razia has received training and support in implementing a Forest-Fruit-Fish-Vegetable model of farming [add sentence on what this model means]. As a result, she has already made 40,000 BDT (approximately US$500) selling vegetables and fruits after feeding her family and is expecting another $1,000 from selling their fish.

Nezaposlenost, loš kvalitet javnih usluga, korupcija te nepovoljno poslovno okruženje samo su neki od brojnih izazova sa kojima se Bosna i Hercegovina suočava. Ipak, u posljednjih nekoliko godina, odgovorniji pristup jednog broja lokalnih vlasti doveo je do značajnog poboljšanja kvalitete života stanovništva.
Napredak je dobrim dijelom ostvaren kroz projekat Lokalni integrisani razvoj, inicijativu koju u vrijednosti od 12 miliona KM finansira Evropska unija a realizuje Razvojni program Ujedinjenih nacija (UNDP) u saradnji sa 21 lokalnom zajednicom. Rezultati su vidljivi kroz nova radna mjesta, efikasniji rad lokalne samouprave, te kvalitetniju komunalnu infrastrukturu.
