4th Northwest Mountainous & Forested Areas Development Project (PNO4) |
| Project Detail |
The development objectives of the Fourth Northwest Mountainous and Forested Areas Development Project for Tunisia are to improve the socio-economic conditions of the rural population and promote better protection and management of natural resources in the project area using an integrated participatory approach to community-based development. There are four components to the project. The first component of the project is institutional support and technical assistance for community development plan preparation and implementation in the project area. The overall objective of this component is to strengthen the institutional and organizational capacities of all the main development partners involved in the implementation of the project, improve their methodological tools and operational practices, and foster the mainstreaming of the integrated participatory approach in local development processes. The second component of the project is support for agricultural and pastoral production and income-generating activities in the project area. The overall objective of this component is to promote more diverse and better performing agricultural and pastoral production systems (mainly crops and livestock activities with higher yields and more added value) as well as to assist vulnerable groups (primarily women, young people, and landless) in carrying out profitable and sustainable on- and off-farm income-generating activities. The third component of the project is consolidation, protection, and management of natural resources in the project area. The overall objective of this component is threefold: (i) to expand and improve the vegetation cover in targeted project areas, including rangelands, pastures, and tree plantations; (ii) to improve the status of selected forested areas through participatory forest management plans implemented within the framework of community development |
