The Tunisian partner of PROSIM project, the “Ministry of Agriculture, Hydric Resources and Fishery of Tunisia-General Directorate of Agricultural Engineering and Exploitation of Water Resources – Direction Générale du Génie Rural et de l’Exploitation des Eaux (DG/GREE)”, has recently published the procedure for the selection of an engineer (“ingénieur en Génie Rural”) and an administrative assistant.
The PROSIM project (“Promoting Sustainable Irrigation Management and non-conventional water use in the Mediterranean”) aims to reduce pressure on water resources by implementing improved irrigation solutions that ensure an increased water-use efficiency and a larger use of non-conventional water. The activities to be implemented in Tunisia have the objective of becoming a scalable practice for local farmers in order to increase the productivity of their crops, while reducing water resource use.
