This $200,000 federal Project Grant awarded on October 1, 2024 by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of African Affairs aims to secure important archaeological and ethnographic artifacts from Jebel Barkal and Kerma in Sudan to save them from looting and destruction. The grant is funded through the U.S. Ambassadors Fund for Cultural Preservation (CFDA 19.025), which supports the preservation of cultural heritage worldwide. The project is being implemented by Miscellaneous Foreign Awardees, with the prime contractor being Engie Services Zuid B.V., a technical service provider that has supported facilities operations and maintenance for various U.S. government agencies, including the Departments of State, Homeland Security, and Defense. The project will focus on conservation, documentation, and preventive care activities to preserve these culturally significant artifacts in Sudan through February 27, 2025.
