The Cypress Tree Project: An Initiative for the Rehabilitation of Cemeteries", is an initiative providing the opportunity to Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots to rehabilitate cemeteries which have been inaccessible to them over the years. 

The initiative is supported by the Bi-communal Development Programme (BDP) which is funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and is executed by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS).

The Cypress Tree Project is run by a Secretariat. The Secretariat's aims and duties include:

  • Developing an inventory of all known cemeteries, including the status of their current condition;
  • Engaging the public through an outreach campaign including the opening of a hotline and launching of a website;
  • Developing project documents/proposals for protecting and/or rehabilitating cemeteries that both the local and international communities can support; and,
  • Implementing cemetery rehabilitation projects on behalf of local and international donors.

We look forward to your cooperation.
