Asunción hosted on 6 August the presentation of the initial results of the project ‘Design and implementation of the Risk Management Plan for the Jesuit Missions of Santísima Trinidad de Paraná and Jesús de Tavarangüe, World Heritage site in Paraguay’, financed by the Netherlands Funds-in-Trust and implemented by the National Secretariat of Tourism-SENATUR and UNESCO Montevideo, in coordination with the Latin America and Caribbean Unit of the UNESCO World Heritage Centre.
The participation of the National Secretariat of Culture and other national and local stakeholders in this process was fundamental in the framework of the technical assistance project for the elaboration of a risk management plan for the Jesuit Missions of Santísima Trinidad de Paraná and Jesús de Tavarangüe, a site included in the World Heritage List since 1993.
‘This document is intended to be a National Risk Plan due to the responsibility that all Paraguayans have towards World Heritage and the different risks that have been identified and those that will continue to be added,’ said Paraguay’s Minister of Tourism, Angie Duarte.
The work carried out for the preparation of the risk management plan document through various workshops and training sessions lays the foundations for a long-term inter-institutional commitment between SENATUR and the National Secretariat of Culture-SNC, as well as coordination with local and departmental governments and other key institutions of the central administration, such as the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, National Emergency Secretariat, National Institute of Indigenous People, Armed Forces, National Police, INTERPOL Paraguay, among others.
This cooperation will continue in the future to further develop risk prevention and risk management protocols that will prevent or reduce the negative effects of potential disasters on the World Heritage property and thus protect its outstanding universal value.
In this sense, the Minister of Culture, Adriana Ortiz underlined the relevance of the project implemented in view of the need to ‘continuously promote and coordinate this type of action to preserve this world heritage that distinguishes us as unique’.
