Expert meeting on the rehabilitation of Somali culture 

The meeting is convened to discuss the findings of the 2006 needs assessment and to establish a plan of action for future activities aimed at the rehabilitation of Somali culture following two and a half decades of civil war, which resulted in the devastation of the country’s cultural infrastructure and the loss of a great deal of Somali national heritage. 

Representing different parts of Somalia as well as several diaspora communities, the participants will bring expertise in various domains of Somali culture: drama, poetry, literature, media, archives and film.

Aware of the role that cultural practices can play in fostering social cohesion, reconciliation and reconstruction processes, UNESCO carried out in 2006 a needs assessment in the field of culture for Somalia.  This effort has also been coordinated with the  Somalia Joint Needs Assessment led by the UN/World Bank.

The donor community in Nairobi will be invited on the final day of the meeting to explore the possibilities of future funding.
