2. Institutional and Operational Structure of the Centre
The Lucio Costa Heritage Management Regional Training Centre is based in Riode Janeiro at the premises of the Institute of National Historical and Artistic Heritage(IPHAN), a federal public agency that presently reports to Brazil’s Ministry of Culture.
This arrangement was established in the first agreement signed by the Brazilian
government and UNESCO on 26th July 2010, and in renewed agreement signed on
13th June 2018.
The Category 2 Centre Lucio Costa was created aiming at improving themanagement capabilities of institutions and professionals involved in the preservationof cultural and natural heritage in the region that encompasses Portuguese andSpanish-speaking countries in South America (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile,
Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela), Africa (Angola, Cabo
Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Mozambique and Sao Tome and Principe)and Asia (Timor-Leste).
In addition to Brazil, nine countries (two African Portuguese-speaking countries,Mozambique and Cabo Verde; and seven South American Spanish-speaking
countries, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay) haveso far signed up to participate in Lucio Costa Centre structure and activities.
The institutional structure of the Centre is composed by the Governing Board, theExecutive Committee, the Advisory Committee and the Secretariat.

The Governing Board is currently chaired by the President of IPHAN andcomposed by representatives of all Participating States, a representative of theDirector-General of UNESCO and other non-voting participants, that include: arepresentative of the Brazilian Ministry of Culture (MinC), a representative of theBrazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE), a representative of the Brazilian

The Centre´s estimated budget for 2024 is USD 225,000.00.

3. Updates on the Management of the Centre
When the new Brazilian government came into office, in January 2023, the Lucio
Costa Management Training Centre (CLC/CC2) was able to resume its operations,which were significantly hampered during the previous government (2019 – 2022) due
to severe budgetary reduction and restrictions to multilateral cooperation activities.
In 2023, Lucio Costa Centre was granted with a budget of USD 315,000.00, whichwere partially applied in implementing operation resumption of the Centre, as detailed
in the table below (“4. Main Programmes and Activities”). The budgetary source was
the Brazilian Government's own budget, destined for the Center's institutional actions(investment cost), in addition to running costs (staff, venue, equipment, services etc.).
For 2024, the Centre estimated budget is USD 225,000.00, still to be released forimplementation.
In parallel, the Center has developed strategies and actions in search forpartnerships and other sources of external funding. That includes not only Brazilian
funding institutions, but also organizations from countries in its region of coverage andinternational institutions, aiming at support and funds for a broader offer of actions andtraining events, aligned with core themes within World Heritage and South-SouthCooperation concerns, as well as with Sustainable Objective Goals. Also, Lucio Costa
Centre aims at fulfilling the expectations manifested toward C2C’s in the results for theThird Cycle for Periodic Reporting both in Latin America and the Caribbean and Africa,
mainly related to capacity-building strategies, representativeness of the Global Southon the UNESCO World Heritage List, integration of UNESCO conventions,engagement of indigenous people and local communities in managing World Heritage
sites, among others.

In 2023, two external experts were assigned by UNESCO to carry on the evaluationof Lucio Costa Centre, the results of which may be finalized soon. Meanwhile, theAgreement between the Brazilian Government and Unesco, which was signed in 2018
and is due in August 2024, was extended until December 2025, according to UNESCO
Executive Board decision in its 219th session (219 EX/15.XIV).
