To this end it seeks to demonstrate how and when it makes sense for us to get involved in activities related to cultural asset mobilization. Equally important, it also indicates how and when we should leave cultural heritage activities to others. In particular, this report addresses the following questions: • What do we mean by integrating culture and cultural assets into our work? • Why may cultural assets be of importance for a development institution like the World Bank? • What is particular about the cultural assets of the ECA Region? • What lessons can be drawn from ECA's experience with interventions focused on cultural assets to date? • How should ECA staff address issues of cultural assets in the future?en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTABILITYADVERSE EFFECTADVERSE IMPACTAGRICULTUREARCHAEOLOGICAL SITESARCHITECTUREARTARTSASSET MANAGEMENTBANK LENDINGBASICBELIEFSBRIDGEBUILDING COMPONENTSCAPITAL FORMATIONCATHEDRALSCHURCHESCITY DEVELOPMENTCITY DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIESCOMMUNITY BASED TOURISMCOMPARATIVE ADVANTAGECOMPETITIVENESSCOMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENTCONSERVATIONCONSERVATION OF CULTURAL HERITAGECONSERVATION PLANNINGCONSERVATION WORKSCONTINGENT VALUATIONCOST BENEFIT ANALYSISCRAFTS DEVELOPMENTCULTURAL ACTIVITIESCULTURAL ASSETSCULTURAL CONSERVATIONCULTURAL DEVELOPMENTCULTURAL EXPRESSIONCULTURAL FIELDCULTURAL GOODSCULTURAL HERITAGECULTURAL HERITAGE PROJECTSCULTURAL HERITAGE SITESCULTURAL INDUSTRIESCULTURAL INVESTMENTSCULTURAL LANDSCAPESCULTURAL MONUMENTSCULTURAL PROJECTSCULTURAL PROPERTIESCULTURAL PROPERTYCULTURAL SECTORCULTURAL SITESCULTURAL SURVIVALCULTURAL TOURISMCULTURESDAMAGE ASSESSMENTDEBTDECENTRALIZATIONDECISION MAKINGDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPMENT STRATEGYDIVERSITYECONOMIC ANALYSISECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC IMPACTECONOMISTSEMERGENCY RECONSTRUCTIONEMPLOYMENTENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGEENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICSENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTSEXISTENCE VALUEEXPORTSFARMSFISCAL REFORMFORESTRYGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTHANDICRAFTSHERITAGE ACTIVITIESHERITAGE ASSETSHERITAGE CONSERVATIONHERITAGE MANAGEMENTHERITAGE PROJECTHERITAGE SITEHISTORIC AREASHISTORIC CITIESHISTORIC DISTRICTSHISTORIC ENVIRONMENTHISTORIC PROPERTYHISTORIC SITESHISTORIC STRUCTURESHISTORIC TOWNSHOTELSICONSINCOMEINSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTEGRATING CULTUREINVENTORIESLABOR FORCELAND USELEGACIESLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGISLATIONLIVING CULTURELIVING STANDARDSMANDATESMARKET ECONOMIESMIGRATIONMINISTERS OF CULTUREMINISTRIES OF CULTUREMONASTERIESMOSQUESMUNICIPALITIESMUSEUMMUSEUMSMUSICAL INSTRUMENTSMYTHSNATIONAL PARKNATURAL BEAUTYNATURAL ENVIRONMENTOLD TOWNOPTION VALUEPARTICIPATORY PROCESSESPERFORMING ARTSPOLLUTIONPRESERVATIONPREVENTIVE CONSERVATIONPRIVATIZATIONPRODUCTIVE ASSETSPUBLIC GOODSRADIORECONSTRUCTION PROJECTSRELIGIOUS GROUPSRESTAURANTSRESTORATIONSCHOOLSSOCIAL CAPITALSOCIAL COHESIONSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL INCLUSIONSTRUCTURAL CHANGESUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTAX REVENUESTOTAL ECONOMIC VALUETOURISMTOURISM DEVELOPMENTTOURISM INDUSTRYTOURISM INFRASTRUCTURETOURISM PROMOTIONTOURIST DESTINATIONSTOURISTSTRADE POLICIESTRADITIONAL BUILDING SKILLSTRADITIONSTRANSITION ECONOMIESTRAVEL COST METHODTRUST FUNDSTRUSTSURBAN DEVELOPMENTURBAN REGENERATIONUSE VALUEWEALTH10.1596/19041
