“For six years major museums and ministries of culture in Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam cooperated with Swedish Museums for World Culture in MUSEA, a programme for development of museums and their role in society. This report is the end-of-programme review carried out in September 2011. The review concludes the programme was relevant to the overall objective of poverty alleviation, which includes culture and identity and the museums’ potential to highlight marginalised groups. It was effective in fulfilling its purpose, although with limitations in reaching the overall objective. Contributing factors to the sustainability of the achievements are: the organisations involved are stable; a professional network is established; the overall objective provides direction for a future role; and the programme was implemented through strong participation and ownership.”
