Project summary 

INTO worked in partnership with Cross-Cultural Foundation of Uganda to protect the tangible and intangible heritage of the Bakonzo and Alur communities which was at risk due to rapidly melting snow in the Rwenzori Mountains in Western Uganda. 

Main activities of the project were documentation and mapping of tangible and intangible cultural heritage, physical works to protect Wang Lei (a national monument), training heritage sector workers, community awareness raising, knowledge exchange with the UK, creation of management plans and promotional activities.
