PAST
ACTIVITIES
General Assembly 2003
Since
AFRICOM's establishment following the Constituent
Assembly in Lusaka, Zambia in 1999, the young
organization has focused on solidifying its
institutional, administrative and human resource
capacities. At the time of the General Assembly,
the AFRICOM Secretariat consisted of only three
full time staff. However, the organization of
the General Assembly and Conference made it
possible to recruit several short-term project
staff which was a major step in building experience
for an institution which will naturally grow. Download Narrative Report
Building
the professional network in Africa has been
the main aim of AFRICOM and the Secretariat
works daily on the growing database of individuals
and bodies concerned with museums and cultural
heritage in Africa. It currently contains over
3,000 entries from over 80 countries. AFRICOM
maintains strong links with partner institutions
and programmes in Africa and abroad.

It is
significant that, in addition to AFRICOM members
and heritage professionals, there were representatives
at the conference from Africa 2009, EPA (Ecole
du Patrimoine Africain), ICOM (International
Council of Museums), PMDA (Programme for Museum
Development in Africa), SAMA (South African
Museum Association), Samp (African-Swedish Museum
Network), and WAMP (West African Museum Programme),
Robben Island Museum Training Centre, and Nubian
Museum Training Centre, among others.
