Tangible results concerning the significant reduction of water for irrigation, productivity increase, energy savings, along with the formulation of a shared vision and policy recommendations for future upscaling of the WEFE Nexus approach in Tunisia were the key highlights of the final Multistakeholder workshop of the ACCISI-GEM (Adapting to Climate Change Impacts through Smart Irrigation and WEFE Nexus Approach) project that took place on 26 February 2025 in Bizerte, Tunisia.
A pre-feasibility study on a reservoir in the Vjosa River Basin is under way within the framework of Phase II of the WEFE Nexus Assessment in Albania under the GEF UNEP/MAP MedProgramme aiming to ultimately support the integration of the Water Energy Food Ecosystems Nexus approach into planning processes and management practices at the national level.
The ACCISI-GEM project marked an impressive success for natural resources conservation and sustainable farming in water-stressed Northern Tunisia, helping farmers increase agricultural production by 27%, while reducing irrigation water use by 3%.
