Phase 3 - Implementing

In Phase 1, you determined how you are going to implement the assessment, the number of workshops needed and the time-frame for the assessment. If people involved in the assessment are not familiar with some of the concepts needed when using the tools (see Section 3.3), some initial capacity-building will be helpful.

The number and length of the workshops you arrange will depend on the scale and level of the assessment. If it is the first time that you are using the Toolkit and if you are using all the tools, it is best to hold multiple workshops, particularly if you are bringing together people and institutions who may not have worked together before. This approach will allow you to undertake certain tasks in between workshops and agree the content for the next round of discussions. However, avoid breaking up the assessment over too long a period. Each workshop should last at least a full day, to allow enough time to discuss issues in depth, and be no more than two weeks apart, to avoid forgetting what was previously discussed.

If you choose to undertake the assessment using a single workshop, experience from the test cases used to develop the EoH 2.0 Toolkit shows that a full assessment will take at least five full working days; this excludes all the preparatory work required during Phases 1 and 2 of the assessment (see Sections 4.1. and 4.2), and that of the final phase of the assessment (Section 4.4). Since every World Heritage property A cultural, natural or mixed heritage place inscribed on the World Heritage List and therefore considered to be of OUV for humanity. The responsibility for nominating a property to the World Heritage List falls upon the State(s) Party(ies) where it is located. The World Heritage Committee decides whether a property should be inscribed on the World Heritage List, taking into account the technical recommendations of the Advisory Bodies following rigorous evaluation processes.
When used as a general term, World Heritage refers to all the natural, cultural and mixed properties inscribed on the World Heritage List. or other heritage place has its own characteristics, it is difficult to estimate how long it can take to use each of the tools and, consequently, the total duration required for an assessment.
