The project's objective is to improve the living conditions of the local population living upstream of the NebhanaThe project is part of the new strategy for the development and conservation of agricultural land being developed by the DGACTA (Direction Générale de l'Aménagement et de la Conservation des Terres Agricoles). It responds to the national priority of supporting the most disadvantaged regions, and complements the activities of AGIRE (Appui à la Gestion Intégrée des Ressources en Eau),
The AGIRE project is based on three essential components, including the implementation of a participatory consultation process around the management of water resources in the delegation of Sbikha, located downstream from the Nebhana DamThe AGIRE Project, covering the Sbikha delegation, defines the water forum as a process and structures for dialogue and consultation between stakeholders in the water system in relation to a specific territory.
This initiative will intervene in the delegation of Oueslatia, and more specifically the 9 sectors of the delegation composing the watershed of Nebhana, namely: Oued Ksab, Maarouf, Djebel Serj, Zaghdoud, El Oueslatia West and East, El Bhaier, Djebel Oueslat.
Implemented with the DGACTA, this initiative, in order to ensure a coherent intervention between upstream and downstream, works in a sense of synergies with the project AGIRE.
