Who assesses International assistance requests under the World Heritage Fund?

International assistance requests under the World Heritage Fund are evaluated by both the World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies to the World Heritage Committee, namely ICOMOS and ICCROM for cultural or mixed heritage and IUCN for natural or mixed heritage.

International assistance requests for US$30,000 or less are evaluated by the World Heritage Centre only. The Advisory Bodies to the World Heritage Committee may be also consulted whenever necessary.
