Towards Efficient Roles of NGOs for Safeguarding ICH in the Asia-Pacific Region

The international conference of ICH NGOs was organized in Jeonju from 26 to 28 June 2014 to strengthen our networking efforts. Under the theme of “Towards Efficient Roles of NGOs for Safeguarding ICH in the Asia-Pacific Region,” some fifty NGOs from the Asia-Pacific, Europe, South America, and Africa participated in the lively discussion on the diverse roles of NGOs as mediators between the government and local communities. This book is an outcome of the conference presentations and discussions.
