U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) Program in Turkmenistan

Home Baş sahypa | Education & Culture | U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) Program in Turkmenistan

Established by the U.S. Congress in 2001, the Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) supports the preservation of cultural sites, cultural objects, and forms of traditional cultural expression in developing countries around the world. Cultural heritage endures as a reminder of the contributions and historical experiences of humanity. Since its inception, the Fund has supported more than 900 cultural preservation projects in more than 125 countries.

Over the past twenty years, AFCP has supported 28 projects worth more than $1,600,000 to preserve historically important cultural sites and objects in Turkmenistan. Funded projects have included technical support for the restoration of historic buildings; assessment and conservation of museum collections; archaeological site preservation; and improved storage conditions for archives and manuscripts.
