The CCBP is a long-term training programme, implemented by the Regional Office for Culture in Latin America and the Caribbean, based in Havana, in close coordination with the UNESCO World Heritage Centre and the UNESCO Offices in Kingston and Port-au-Prince. Its implementation began in 2004 when the First Periodic Report on the Application of the Convention in Latin America and the Caribbean recommends the elaboration of effective measures to strengthen capacities in the States Parties. In 2013, with the presentation of the Second Periodic Report on the Application of the 1972 Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage in Latin America and the Caribbean, the first CCBP cycle comes to an end.

The CCBP is composed of a core and mandatory training module, Module 1, relative to the application of the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. The remaining CCBP modules focus on five core aspects of management: tourism in heritage sites, risk prevention and the management of cultural landscapes, historic centres and natural heritage. (See all the modules in the section on Related Information).
