: The Famagusta Walled City Association (MASDER) is an initiative that aims to turn the Famagusta Walled City into an attractive and appealing spot for visitors, through various efforts and programs that will make such efforts sustainable. MASDER is an initiative created to contribute to the cultural, tourism-related, socio-economic and social development of the Walled City. MASDER believes that numerous historical artifacts found in the Walled City of Famagusta belonging to various civilizations are the most important assets of both Famagusta and the Turkish Cypriot Community, and aims at protecting and promoting such assets. MASDER, as a legal entity, shall not have any affiliation with any political party or undertake any political activity. In order to fulfill its objectives, MASDER will plan cultural and art related, traditional, folkloric activities and implement them. MASDER has received technical assistance and support from the Economic Development and Growth for Enterprises (EDGE) project, which is implemented by Deloitte Consulting LLP and funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID). Like all U.S. funded programs in Cyprus, EDGE's activities are aimed at facilitating reunification, including through the responsible management of natural and cultural resources.
