MOWCAP aims not only to assist preservation of and universal access to documentary heritage of the Asia/Pacific region, but also to increase awareness of the existence and significance of the heritage. MOWCAP embraces the Asia-Pacific region of 43 countries – one of five UNESCO regions across the globe – and is a cooperative structure through which people in the region can be brought together to pursue the objectives of the MOW Programme.
