Objective:
Support provenance research projects examining history and circulation of sub-Saharan African cultural objects in French and German institutions. Promote broader understanding of these objects’ cultural history through expert evaluation and project selection.
Restitution Measures:
Joint Franco-German funding mechanism for provenance research projects, with evaluation by tripartite council including African experts ensuring inclusive decision-making processes.
Limitations:
Limited to Franco-German institutional scope, focuses on sub-Saharan Africa only, appears research-focused rather than providing direct restitution mechanisms or binding return protocols for identified objects.
