Since its inception, as an international institution for ICH safeguarding, CRIHAP has been committed to building cooperation platforms through the organization of international training activities, actively participating in the implementation of UNESCO’s global capacity-building strategy for strengthening national capacities for safeguarding intangible cultural heritage, thereby contributing significantly to ICH safeguarding efforts in the Asia-Pacific region and globally. As of December 2025, CRIHAP has organized 97 international training workshops, benefiting nearly 4,000 participants from 44 relevant countries and regions in the Asia-Pacific. Furthermore, it has disseminated knowledge on ICH and the 2003 Convention through online platforms, and has been recognized by UNESCO as “one of the pillars of capacity-building for the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage in the Asia-Pacific region.”

In the coming eight years, guided by the new agreement, CRIHAP is committed to further optimizing its strategies and expanding its cooperation network to play an even greater role in advancing ICH safeguarding and sustainable development in the Asia-Pacific region.
