NICH Lands $98K UNESCO Grant

The National Institute of Culture and History (NICH) has secured a USD $98,600 grant from UNESCO to lead the project “Empowering Communities for the Safeguarding of Belize’s Foodways.” 

NICH said in a statement, “This initiative will train 140 community members and cultural officers to document and protect our rich culinary heritage. By focussing on our vibrant local cuisines, we aim to inspire healthier eating habits among students and the wider community.” 

The project is expected to be implemented over the next two years.
