Model & Strategy

The Global Heritage Fund’s mission is to enable successful long-term preservation of the world’s most important and endangered world heritage sites in developing countries. GHF focuses efforts on sites with strong potential for tourism development yet with acute pressures and without resources for preservation and planned development. GHF leads funding, planning and monitoring of critical preservation and restoration projects at Global Heritage sites. Each GHF Project follows an integrated method and process, termed Preservation by Design, which includes master planning, scientific excellence, community involvement and partnerships built to provide enduring protection, management and financial support for these significant yet vulnerable sites.
