Based on the capacity-building workshops organized under the current UNESCO/Monaco project in Mongolia and upon request from the authorities of Monaco, this three-year project will aim to enhance the capacities of Mongolian authorities to fight the illicit traffic of cultural objects by reviewing the current Mongolian legislation on the protection of cultural heritage and by producing tools and materials (video-clips, educational materials) to continue raising the awareness of Mongolian authorities, local communities and tourists on the importance to safeguard Mongolian cultural heritage.

The project proposal is currently prepared by UNESCO's Headquarters (Section of Museums and Cultural Objects) together with the Beijing Office, in cooperation with the Mongolian authorities (National Commission) and in coordination with Monaco’s Office of International Cooperation.
