Résumé en anglais
Upon agreement between the World Bank and the Government of the Republic of Macedonia 4 year Project: Community development and Culture (1999-2003) has been designed and implemented. Principal idea of the project was to establish conditions that facilitate poverty reduction, socioeconomic development, and community development by leveraging one of the county untapped resources, its cultural assets, to create culture-based industries (notably handcrafts and community-based tourism) in areas adjacent to cultural heritage sites, while improving the management of cultural assets, particularly at local level.
Project components are: Component 1: Integrated development of the Community. This component will seek to develop sets of cultural industries in five pilot sites through priority investments, conservation measures and local capacity building. The selected communities will then receive assistance in the development of site management plans and managerial skills by institutions and also by NGO’s. Component 2: Institutional development on national level. This component will support the local level activities by: providing needed information for the successful mobilization of cultural assets in support of community development. Three studies will carried out: (a) a national inventory of cultural assets, utilizing community participation, will be developed as a multipurpose (national and regional) tools; (b) a handcraft assessment will determine the scope of existing handcrafts and make recommendations for future development and (c) a tourism assessment will examine the current organization, performance, needs and opportunities for the sector.
