8) News from PIMA
PIMA/ICOMOS Pasifika win US$20,000 grant from
UNESCO
In September 2007, PIMA and ICOMOS Pasifika Board Member, Adi Meretui
Ratunabuabua, signed a Memorandum of Understanding between the Fiji
National Commission of UNESCO and the two organisations, which enabled
the granting of US$20,000 for "Strengthening the Pacific Heritage
Network: A plan to jointly establish the Secretariat for the ICOMOS
International Committee of the Pacific Islands and strengthen the
Secretariat of the Pacific Islands Museums Association (PIMA)"
This project aims to consolidate the Secretariat for ICOMOS Pasifika
within the pre-existing Secretariat of PIMA. The UNESCO Participation
Program funding will provide the fledgling ICOMOS Committee with
resources and administrative support that it does not currently have by
using the established network and structure of PIMA. Both PIMA and ICOMOS
Pasifika rely on grants in order to provide training for their members,
to undertake research and publication projects, and to enable the Boards
to meet.
