The workshop’s target audiences are relevant experts and professionals from museums, relics management boards, research and conservation institutes, management agencies and non-governmental organisations in Vietnam and abroad.
Through sharing of information about AFCP and other funding sources, the program raises awareness on the importance of mobilizing additional sources of technical and financial support in preserving and managing cultural heritage sites in Vietnam, especially for those in danger and in need of urgent action.
