| Summary: |
This technical course is complementary to the AFRICA 2009 three-month
Regional Course and focuses on technical issues rather than management
aspects. The theme for the technical course will be “Impact
Assessment as a tool for heritage management”. Impact assessments
are carried out in anticipation of likely effects of development projects
on the natural and cultural environment. The course will consist of
a series of hands-on practical exercises geared towards developing
competence in impact assessment studies, especially as it relates
to the protection of heritage sites threatened by development activities.
Objectives
- To introduce participants to Impact Assessment and its use as
a heritage management tool;
- to familiarize participants with the practical process of impact
assessment;
- to sensitize policy makers on the usefulness of impact assessment
for heritage protection.
