Our Projects

Tehuledere and Lake Hayk Heritage Sites

The concept of a cultural satellite account holds great significance for Ethiopia, a nation rich in diversity and cultural heritage. It is essential to systematically map the country's various cultural resources, which encompass everything from traditional arts and crafts to music, dance, and local customs. Through this comprehensive mapping process, valuable cultural statistics will be extracted, providing a clearer picture of the vibrant cultural landscape. This enhanced understanding of Ethiopia's cultural resources will be instrumental for government bodies, local communities, and private organizations alike. By recognizing and appreciating the importance of this sector, they will be better equipped to engage in effective planning and to design projects that not only preserve these cultural assets but also promote them as catalysts for economic growth and community development.
