On Sunday 31 January, the EU Delegation to Algeria announced the launch of a project called “transfer of environmentally sound technology” (Med TEST II) under the Switch Med programme.
A press release from the EU Delegation states that this programme will be “funded by the EU and carried out by UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organisation), in order to benefit of the full potential of the industry’s contribution for supportive and sustainable industrial development, addressing the Algerian companies in the agri-food sector.”
The announcement was made at a seminar which was held in Algiers on Monday 25 January, organised by the National Centre for cleaner production technologies (Centre national des Technologies de Production plus Propre – CNTPP), an institution under the authority of the Ministry of Water Resources and Environment. The seminar focused on “the development of ecological industry and sustainable production on the southern shore of the Mediterranean.”
