The International alliance for the protection of heritage in conflict areas (ALIPH) is the only global fund exclusively dedicated to the protection and rehabilitation of cultural heritage in conflict zones and post-conflict situations. It was founded in March 2017 in response to the massive destruction in recent years of outstanding, often ancient, cultural heritage, particularly in the Middle East and the Sahel region. Based in Geneva, this Swiss foundation has the status of an international organization. 

ALIPH finances concrete projects carried out by associations, foundations, academic, cultural and heritage institutions, and international organizations. Projects financed by ALIPH target monuments and sites, museums and their collections, documents, archives and manuscripts, and intangible heritage. Projects may be carried out prior to a conflict to limit the risk of destruction, during a conflict to ensure the security of heritage, or in post-conflict contexts to enable populations to once again enjoy their cultural heritage. 

ALIPH selects a wide variety of projects through regular calls for proposals. When urgent intervention is needed, ALIPH has a dedicated rolling Emergency Relief funding scheme. All projects are thoroughly reviewed by ALIPH’s Scientific Committee and approved by ALIPH’s Foundation Board.
