Résumé en anglais

The intangible cultural heritage refers to the non-physical components of a people's culture, such as oral traditions, performing arts, social practices, cosmology and traditional craftsmanship. The preservation of this type of heritage is much more challenging than that of the physical heritage. In fact, in countries such as Kenya, there is as yet no legislation that addresses this problem.
