ALIPH has announced more than $16 million in funding to support cultural heritage protection in Syria, Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, and climate change effects in Africa. Syria is receiving $5 million to address damages to heritage sites caused by 14 years of war and recent crises. The newly appointed Director General of Antiquities and Museums, Dr. Anas Haj Zeidan, is committed to restoring the nation's unique heritage. Aliph will help with restoration efforts, conserve artefacts, and support local capacity-building over the next two years.
"The findings from this mission are clear. Syrian heritage has suffered extensive damage from 14 years of war, as well as from the 2023 earthquake and the country's economic and social crises."
"Yet today, there is a strong determination from the DGAM to take on the challenge of restoring and rehabilitating the country's unique heritage. At ALIPH, we want to stand by their side - alongside heritage professionals and the Syrian people - to help revive this exceptional heritage in all its historical, cultural, and religious diversity."
