The North African Network of Humid Zones is meeting Tuesday November 16 in Morocco according to press sources in Morocco. The two day meeting is the second meeting of the network and is dedicated to finalizing decision on priorities for regional cooperation as part of the project “Maghreb Humid Zones.”
This project is a collaborative effort between Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia and aims at finding compromise positions in order to reconcile economic development needs across these three countries, particularly in areas of mutual interest and that are not necessarily limited to national borders, for example ecosystems.
A major tactic is to strengthen local capacities by imparting on a grassroots level the importance of sustainable development and the shared interests that the three countries have in terms of environmental resources. (menareport.com)
