TunisiaAlgeria: Deaf-mutes trained in beekeeping by EU-funded PADSEL-NOA Programme
The support programme for local sustainable development and social actions in North West Algeria – PADSEL NOA – has trained 23 young deaf-mutes (six of them are women) in beekeeping in the province of Tiaret.
The aim of this training is to reinforce self-confidence for these people with disabilities and to allow them to acquire necessary skills to engage in an income-generating activity of honey production.
PADSEL-NOA, (le Programme d’appui au développement local durable et aux actions sociales du Nord-Ouest de l’Algérie [the support programme for local sustainable development and social actions in North West Algeria]) was launched in November 2018. The programme, co-financed by the European Union and Algeria, is targeting 6 wilayas (provinces) (Aïn Defla, Médéa, Chlef, Tissemsilt, Tiaret, Saïda), with the aim of revitalising local territories by stimulating inclusive and sustainable social and economic development. It also supports the creation of income-generating activities in agriculture, livestock farming or even tourism. The focus is on groups of end-users such as local stakeholders, project sponsors, in particular vulnerable and disadvantaged people within the towns, unemployed young people, women and people with disabilities, targeted by the Ministry for Solidarity. The total cost of the programme is €43.5 million, of which 20 million is being contributed by the European Union.
