A total of $2 million w go to heritage sites suffering from coronavirus pandemic
The Aliph Foundation has doubled the volume of emergency investment for its coronavirus relief appeal.
The Swiss-based organization, which is helping safeguard World Heritage sites in crash or post-shock zones, will donate more than $2 million (7.3 million dirhams), compared to the $1 million it planned to donate to affected cultural heritage sites. coronavirus pandemic. These come with more than one hundred organizations in 60 countries, adding the National Museum of Mali, the Uganda Museum in Kampala, the Cultural Corporation Glass Museum in Bogota and the Directorate of Heritage and Archaeology of Mosul.
“We knew there was a need, but we didn’t know it would be that much,” said Sandra Bialystok, Aliph’s spokesperson. “We were also very happy to have been able to succeed in so many local and regional cultural heritage operators.”
The heritage sites have suffered the pandemic. They have faced the maximum of non-easy conditions similar to those of primary museums and cultural organizations, such as closures, rehabilitation or construction deferrals, and a particularly important friend because of the loss of the source of coins and jobs, but from the point of view of having smaller budgets. and opescore in more confidant conditions.
A significant portion of Aliph’s emergency investment will pass to local organizations, of which approximately 90% have not been backed up through Aliph before. The young foundation recognizes that it was able to make an open appeal to its partners for having been far-reaching, in addition to the reality that it organized, for the first time, a knowledge assembly on grants in Arabic. Working with smaller projects has also diversified the type of paintings Aliph admits, with investment moving to intangible heritage projects, as well as museums and recovery sites.
Ceo Valery Freland says the shift to the goals of the local investment foundation.
“Our goal is to be able to paint more and more with local organizations and as close to communities as possible,” Freland says. “Of course, it’s a challenge, because in the crash zones, there are no operators specializing in giant apples capable of wearing down giant rehabilitation projects, so we prefer both.”
One of the main beneficiaries of emergency investment is the Palestinian craft organization Sunbulos Angeles, which supports the preservation of classical craft techniques. The Sunbalos Angels store has been closed since March due to a sharp loss of the coin source for the 2,000 employees of its affiliated craft groups.
Aliph will also distribute the budget through wives such as Unesco, the International Council of Museums (ICOM), the World Monuments Fund and the Aga Khan Culture Trust.
A narrow organization of 8 people, those collaboration stations are the secret of Aliph’s modus operandi. Aliph was founded in 2016 with seed capital from seven countries, adding $30 million from France, $20 million from Saudi Arabia and $1 million from the United Arab Emirates.
Our goal is to be able to paint more and more with local organizations and as close as possible to communities.
Supports large-scale rehabilitation projects, such as the recovery of the Beit Al Tutunji in Mosul’s Old City, a broad Ottoman-era hoax that was used as an artillery camp through ISIS and the largest friend destroyed through coalition airstrikes, and the preservation of a Buddhist-era Stupa in Shewaki Afghanistan. (Both projects were suspended after the coronavirus outbreak and the feature since it resumed)
But the root also wants to be a coordinator, rationalizing projects in a sector with big apple players. He has now launched, for example, school resources containing resources for other Americans running in the cultural heritage box, such as practical modules on illicit trafficking and preventive conservation, and courses designed to keep best friends tend to general wisdom about the spaces it helps safeguard, such as African rock art or mesopotamia hitale in the 3rd century BC.
“It’s the first time someone has done something like that,” Says Freland, “who’s just looking to put everything and everyone on the similar page, on the similar website.”

Another portion of the $2 million investment will go to capatown design projects, carried out in collaboration with the International Center for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM) and the Cultural Emergency Response Program of the Prince Claus Fund. They will carry out distance learning projects for the so-called “first aid” of cultural heritage: quick responses to the destruction that occurs in the midst of a conflict.
“What we are working with Aliph is something new: a small foreign organization, focused on concrete initiatives, concrete projects in the field,” Freland says. “This is what we have been given for trying our action plan for Covid-19: a new way of doing multilateralism.”
