The ICCROM-Sharjah Award for good practices was launched in 2017 and concluded for the first time on February 2018. Inspired by the mandate and raison d’être of the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM), it highlighted the good practices in conservation and management of cultural heritage in terms of technical skills employed as well as social and economic impacts of the project on local communities. The protection offered by the project is understood as the effectiveness of the conservation and management in protecting the heritage asset against perceived threats whether natural or human or future generations to cherish.
