World Bank Supports New Tunisia Project in the Rural Development and Environment Sector - Kansas City infoZine News

World Bank Supports New Tunisia Project in the Rural Development and Environment Sector - Kansas City infoZine News: "The Government is fully committed to the challenges of poverty reduction and sustainable natural resource management. Around 60% of Tunisia’s budget is already allocated to public investments in infrastructure (including roads, transport, and communications) and human capital (including housing programs).

The proposed project remains in line with the Government directives outlined in the recently approved overlapping Economic and Social Development Plan (2010-2014) and aims at: improving the socio-economic conditions of the rural population, and promoting better protection and management of natural resources in the project area using an integrated participatory approach to community-based development.

In terms of sustainable natural resource management, the Government is implementing two major nationwide programs relating to soil and water conservation as well as integrated water management and conservation, both co-financed by the Bank."
