Overview

The U.S. Department of State established the Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (AFCP) for Lebanon in 2001 at the request of Congress. The purpose of the AFCP is to showcase an alternative image of America to other countries that is not commercial, political, or military, but geared towards the preservations of cultural heritage.

The AFCP Grants Program is aimed at preserving a wide range of cultural heritage, which includes archaeological sites, historical buildings and monuments, museum collections, and traditional forms of cultural expression like indigenous languages and crafts.

The project activities that are eligible for receiving this grant include:

1. Anastylosis, which involves reassembling a site using the original parts.

5. Inventory, which entails forming a list of objects, sites, or traditions based on location, feature, age, or any other unique characteristic or state.
