Rating of IRCI’s contribution to the safeguarding of ICH in the Asia-Pacific Region

IRCI conducted a questionnaire survey regarding its activities in the past ten years from 21 July to 23 August 2021. IRCI invited a wide range of domestic and international experts who have collaborated with IRCI’s projects, including researchers, UNESCO officers, and government officials. We have received 150 responses from 50 countries, and among which, 125 provided valid responses.

In this questionnaire, for example, IRCI’s contribution to the safeguarding of ICH in the Asia-Pacific Region was rated on a five-point scale. As a result, 25% of respondents evaluated it is “high” and 54% answered “slightly high”, which mean that IRCI has received a certain level of recognition. Please look at a preliminary report in PDF format. The results of the survey will be analysed in detail and used to plan future IRCI activities.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who responded to the survey.
