For many years, MASE has been cooperating with Tunisia, financing initiatives in the country also through UNEP and UNOPS. In the field of environmental cooperation, resources amounting to approximately 12 million Euros were allocated to the country.
In May 2018, MASE, (then MATTM), signed a Technical Agreement with the Ministry of Agriculture, Water Resources and Fisheries of the Tunisian Republic, (TMAWRF), with the aim of contributing to the reduction of emissions and climate change adaptation, set by the Tunisian government through projects in the agriculture, fisheries, water resources and ecosystems sectors.
As part of the Agreement, three projects were approved, for a total co-financing by MASE of approximately €4,300,000: Renewable Energy for Agricultural and Rural Development in Tunisia, (REFAT); Implementing Climate-Smart Agriculture practices in Tunisia, (ICAPT); Supporting in Implementing the Technical Arrangement on Sustainable Development Cooperation in the field of Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation.
Tunisia is also interested in the initiative “Accelerating Investment in District Energy in Tunisia and Morocco – DEI”, managed by UNEP and co-financed by MASE, for a total amount of €455,000.
Furthermore, MASE is also engaged in Initiative for Climate Action Transparency - ICAT, financially contributing to the UNOPS Trust Fund, with 5 million Euros.
