Abstract
The chapters of this book have repeatedly demonstrated that management of cultural resources in Africa entails topics of environment, stakeholders, management conventions, politics of the past in the present, community-based conservation, sustainable interpretation, standard setting and heritage enterprising. As expected, such broad coverage commands multiple sectors and stakeholders in which cultural components should be integrated. Even though sectors and stakeholders are endless, a theme of sustainability on which this volume is anchored on highlights the following sectors as core: local indigenous knowledge systems, youth-elder partnerships, technical education, modern land use planning, international conservation policies, standard setting mechanisms, social equity, tourism museums, funding and health and safety issues, amongst others that will result from the evolution of cultural resources use.
