The African World Heritage Fund (AWHF) facilitated the registration of four new African heritage sites on the UNESCO World Heritage List during the last six months, officials announced during board meetings hosted by Egypt. The 38th session of the AWHF Board of Directors, held in Cairo, was hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates. The Fund reported significant conservation progress during the half-year period, specifically citing the removal of three African sites from the List of World Heritage in Danger. These developments followed the World Heritage Committee’s session in July 2025. These events, which drew 450 heritage experts, culminated in the issuance of two formal declarations linking world heritage with sustainable development.
