Ailinginae - Marshall Islands

The Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Programme coordinates and develops World Heritage activities on islands of the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans.

Support services are provided for the preparation of new nominations to the World Heritage List as part of the implementation of the 1994 Global Strategy and assistance is also available after inscription on the List for the conservation and management of sites with a view to sustainable development.

This programme works closely with the World Heritage Marine Programme and the Sustainable Tourism Programme. So far, financial support for the Small Islands Developing States Programme has partly been secured from the governments of Italy, the Netherlands and Andorra.

The SIDS World Heritage Programme is working closely with the Working Group on SIDS/MSI of the Science Sector of UNESCO.
