UNESCO strengthens institutional coordination for the management of Fuerte de Samaipata in Bolivia

As part of the process to develop the Integrated Management Plan for the Fuerte de Samaipata World Heritage property in Bolivia, specialists and consultants met with the Vice-Minister of Culture and Folklore, Andrés Zaratti, to exchange views on the progress made in the process.

The working session helped strengthen coordination among different institutional stakeholders, fostering a shared vision for the protection, conservation and enhancement of cultural heritage. Coordination among national authorities, technical teams and international organizations is essential to the development of comprehensive management strategies.

UNESCO underscores the importance of supporting these processes through approaches that integrate sustainability, participation and local development. Through initiatives such as this, the Organization reaffirms its commitment to the preservation of World Heritage and to strengthening capacities for its long-term management.
