TunisiaMed4Waste seminar gathers 25 municipalities from Tunisia and Libya
Mahdia, Tunisia hosted an event in the framework of the Med4Waste project, more than 50 participants -15 of those MedCities members- took part in the project’s seminar entitled: “Towards sustainable models of local governance for integrated and circular policies for urban waste management”.
The event drew participation from nearly all of MedCities’ Tunisian members, as well as five guest municipalities from Libya, and several other Tunisian municipalities from the region. The primary objectives were to disseminate the key lessons and outcomes of the Med4Waste project in Tunisia and foster discussions on innovative governance models for integrated and circular urban waste management policies.
During the seminar, a spotlight was placed on the mentoring program conducted by MedCities in Mahdia and M’Saken. The program proved instrumental in enabling these two Tunisian municipalities to not only develop but also enhance their Municipal Waste Management Plans (“PCGD” in French). It further encompassed the implementation of pilot initiatives aligned with plan development, participation in international study visits to cities involved in other ENI CBC MED projects that successfully improved their waste management systems, and the launch of a social entrepreneurship program aimed at supporting two local SMEs and start-ups in addressing specific waste management challenges.
