Development of a national policy

The programme will assist the Government to formulate a national policy to safeguard the country's urban heritage and valuable traditions. Such a policy will set priorities, providing guidance to future urban development and the preservation of historic centres. The aim is to assist Governorate Administration and Local Councils to better cater for their historic sites and cities. The policy will be in line with the policy for cultural heritage in general, at present under development with the assistance of the UNDP/UNESCO.
