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.
