Strengthening environmental collaboration with Tunisia
The long-standing cooperation between 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 and Tunisia鈥檚 government took another step forward on 19 December 2024, as Mr. Habib Abid, Tunisia鈥檚 Minister of Environment, met with Maher Mahjoub, the director of the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Centre for Mediterranean Cooperation (香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 MED), to reinforce the partnership and set the stage for future initiatives targeting critical environmental priorities.听
Since joining 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 as a government member in 1996, the ministry has actively contributed to the implementation of 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 programmes.听 Several ongoing and upcoming projects were central to the discussions, among them, Mr. Mahjoub underscored the significance of future joint proposals under the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and Green Climate Fund (GCF) frameworks, aiming to restore Tunisia鈥檚 forest ecosystems and coastal wetlands. Another key opportunity highlighted was the upcoming call for proposals from the International Climate Initiative (IKI), which would enhance wetlands conservation in Tunisia, with a submission planned to align with national priorities. Additionally, the Mubadarat programme led by 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 MED supporting Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), was emphasized as a vital mechanism for implementing Tunisia鈥檚 newly adopted National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (NBSAP).听
"Tunisia鈥檚 environmental ambitions align with 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播鈥檚 vision. Together, we can drive transformative projects that not only restore ecosystems but also empower local communities and pave the way for sustainable development", say Maher Mahjoub.听听

Discussions further included the potential opening of an 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 project office in Tunisia to facilitate the implementation of various initiatives. Minister Abid expressed enthusiasm for the idea, requesting further details on the level of commitment from the Tunisian government.

Mubadarat : capacity building for civil society organisations听
In addition to the meeting with the Minister, several back-to-back meetings were held in Tunisia, further enhancing collaboration and capacity-building efforts. From December 19 to 22, 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 MED organized a gathering in Tunis with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) from Libya and Tunisia. This event aimed to introduce North African CSOs鈥攊ncluding 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 members, PPI OSCAN 3, and TransCap 3 project beneficiaries鈥攖o key concepts and best practices in fundraising.听
The objectives of the events included training CSOs to design targeted solicitation plans by identifying relevant donors, supporting associations during the project closure phase with strong proposals to access future funding opportunities, and engaging with CSOs to strengthen collaboration under the Mubadarat strategy.听听
The organisations were also informed about the launch of the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Academy online course on Efficient Fundraising Strategies for CSOs, offered in both French and Arabic, to further empower these organizations.听
Similar gathering took place in Morocco with civil society organizations along with the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 Moroccan National Committee in Rabat on 14-15 December 2024.听
