Recognition of the Value and importance of cultural heritage resources is not new among the Tanzanian
communities. Before the Colonial era our ancestors conserved their significant cultural heritage, which
included sacred places, traditional tools, customs and settlements. This heritage was managed by respected
individuals or clans in the communities and was passed on from one generation to the next to keep memories
of the communities’ history. Cultural heritage resources are an identity to any nation. Tanzania is endowed
with many cultural resources with international status. Some have publicized the country worldwide. Such
resources include the Oldupai Gorge and Laetoli footprints in Arusha; Kilwa Kisiwani and Songo Mnara ruins in
Lindi; and the Rock Art Paintings in Kondoa, Dodoma which are inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
Kilwa Kisiwani and Songo Mnara Islands, inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1981, were inhabited since the
ninth Century AD. During their prosperity in the 14th and 15th Centuries, the islands were the wealthiest of the
Swahili city states and controlled the lucrative trade routes along a considerable stretch of the East African
coast. The Kilwa Kisiwani and Songo Mnara ruins have been under the threat of natural decay, plant infestation
and roots destruction; wind erosion; sea wave destruction and human activities on or near the property. Hence
in 1999, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism designed a project in collaboration with UNESCO, the
French Embassy, the Japanese Embassy and Kilwa District Authorities to start from 2002 to 2005. During this
period, the Ruins were inscribed on the World Heritage danger list. This listing helped to obtain support from a
number of technical and financial partners including African World Heritage Fund, UNESCO World Heritage
Centre, World Monuments Fund, Norwegian Government, International Labour Organization, World Bank,
French Government, American Government and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism. All these
supports dwelled on the consolidation of the ruins; community awareness and involvement; capacity building
to staff and villagers in tour guidance and entrepreneurship.
The present funding from the European Union emphasises, among others, on the inventorying of the cultural
and natural heritage in the Kilwa District. The inventory prepared under the implementation of the Kilwa
project is an important undertaking that furnishes the Division with detailed information of the key natural and
cultural heritage resources within Kilwa District. This information will help to identify and privatize the sites
potential for conservation and development; conservation and management priorities; potential partnerships
and linkages depending on the type of heritage identified. The inventory will assist the Division to create an
accessible computer‐based resource of the country’s immovable cultural heritage for the day to day reference.
It will provide a much faster and more efficient mode of access which can be rapidly searched, easily updated
and corrected and will set up links to the photographic archives. It is a commendable job that needs to be
supported and utilized after its completion.

Filiberto Ceriani Sebregondi
European Union Ambassador in Tanzania
The story of Kilwa is thrilling. It is beautiful, exciting, sometimes sad, yet full of promise.
The great traveller Ibn Battuta, when setting foot in Kilwa in 14th century, wrote that it was one of the most
beautiful cities in the world, and he had seen Tangiers, Constantine, Alexandria, Cairo, Jerusalem and many
more! Kilwa grew to be a substantial city and the leading commercial warehouse on the southern half of the
Swahili coast. It was the gateway for an intensive exchange of goods between Africa and the rest of the world.
Chinese porcelain has been found as far inland as Zimbabwe, and an African giraffe was one brought to China
as a gift to the Emperor. Kilwa became the most powerful city on the East African coast in the 15th century,
and was successively coveted by the Portuguese, the Arabs and the rulers of Oman. This history also left some
scars. Slave trade and successive occupations left scars and destruction on buildings, people and the landscape.
The city eventually turned into a quiet village, but the remaining beautiful architectural sites are now under
UNESCO's World Heritage List.
However, we have hope for Kilwa. In Europe many beautiful cities have been revived, building on their
heritage for a brighter future. Successful recipes for these cities to be reborn include: cultural heritage
preservation, creative industries, sustainable tourism management, and assistance for people to set up small
and medium enterprises. I am pleased to see that the government of Kilwa is moving in that direction and is
working hard to revive Kilwa.
The project with the International Centre for Earth Construction (CRAterre‐ENSAG) that the European
Commission has decided to support, as shown off in this excellent brochure, is another source of hope for
Kilwa. Its aims at empowering the local population of Kilwa to manage its cultural and natural heritage in a way
that will trigger increased economic and social development.
Through a focus on documenting, enhancing and promoting natural and cultural heritage outside the World
Heritage boundary, this project is complementary to the remarkable efforts the Government of Tanzania,
UNESCO, the French Embassy and other leading heritage organisations; which are working to preserve the
ancient ruins and buildings of Kilwa.
Visitors who flock to Kilwa and enjoy its pristine beaches must prolong their stay for the people of Kilwa to fully
benefit from their presence. Providing them with a diversified offering of natural and cultural attractions and
increased tourist infrastructure will certainly contribute to this. Through the training of tour guides, the setting‐
up and management of local guesthouses and the creation of an Information Centre, the inhabitants of Kilwa
will directly benefit from this project and from a growing tourism industry.
