Independence in Africa: the African Liberation Heritage

This project focuses on Angola, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe seeks to document and preserve the memory of the liberation movements, through archival documentation, oral historical research and the identification and protection of heritage sites related to the liberation struggles.

The creation of a museum, research centre and library on Africa’s liberation heritage is also planned.

One of the important preparatory steps of the project is the creation of national chapters by the focal countries. Tanzania has already established its national chapter with the participation of the UNESCO National Commission (of Tanzania) and the assistance of the UNESCO Dar es Salaam Office. Tanzania’s experience to-date will be presented as an example at the meeting in order to facilitate implementation for other concerned countries and to give the project a strong impetus through the collaborative efforts of all the chapters.
