The AFCP Small Grants Competition supports the preservation of cultural sites, cultural objects
and collections, and forms of traditional cultural expression in developing countries.
Appropriate project activities may include:

of an archaeological site, or documentation of cultural sites in a region for preservation
purposes.
 In the case of cultural objects and collections: conservation treatment for an object or
collection of objects from a museum, site, or similar institution—that include, but are not
limited to, archaeological and ethnographic objects, paintings, sculpture, manuscripts,
and general museum conservation needs; needs assessment of a collection with respect to
its condition and strategies for improving its state of conservation; inventory of a
collection for conservation and protection purposes; the creation of safe environments for
storage or display of collections; or specialized training in the care and preservation of
collections.
 In the case of forms of traditional cultural expression: documentation and audiovisual
recording of traditional music, indigenous languages and dance forms for broad
dissemination as the means of teaching and further preserving them, or support for
training in the preservation of traditional applied arts or crafts in danger of extinction.
