Stakeholders and their sustainability goals Print

The area and people
This zone, where the populations live essentially on the arboriculture, the rain fed crops, and the breeding, suffers of big droughts. The problems of lands degradation in this zone are the erosion by water; the other problems are the division of lands (raise a problem for the construction of big construction) and the poverty.

 

Added value of DESIRE for stakeholders
Involvement in testing one or more methodologies.

 

Study site stakeholder workshops
3 days of workshop organized in dialogue with the governor of Médenine where were present about ten researchers of the IRA, 2 NGOs (AJZ + APB) and a technician of the CRDA (service of the state). This small group visited 2 farmers on 2 different sites. Then the last day the farmers and the other participants (farmers, person in charge of association) were invited to elaborate an assessment.

Problems of workforce to maintain the building after constructions. The young peoples leave this territory to join cities.
