JICA selected and dispatched a study team headed by Mr. Masato Fujinami of Nippon Koei Co., Ltd. to Tunisia between February and December 2000. The team held discussions with the officials concerned of the Government of Tunisia, and conducted field surveys at the study area. Upon returning to Japan, the team conducted further studies and prepared this final report. I hope that this report will contribute to the promotion of this project and to the enhancement of friendly relationship between our two countries. Finally, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to the officials concerned of the Government of Tunisia for their close cooperation extended to the Study. March, 2001 Kunihiko Saito President Japan International Cooperation Agency March, 2001 Mr. Kunio Saito President Japan International Cooperation Agency Tokyo, Japan LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL Dear Sir, We have the pleasure of submitting to you the Final Report of “The Detailed Design Study on the Rural Water Supply Project in the Republic of Tunisia”, in accordance with the Scope of Work agreed upon between the Directorate General of Agricultural Engineering and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). The study was conducted by Nippon Koei Co., Ltd., and Taiyo Consultants Co., Ltd, under a contract to JICA, during the period from February 2000 to March 2001, aiming to prepare the detailed design and the tender documents of the Project 2001 while reviewing detailed design of Project 2000 in Rural Water Supply Project agreed on between the Japan Bank International Cooperation (JBIC) and the Government of the Republic of Tunisia. In conducting the study, we have examined the project with due consideration to the present situation of Tunisia and formulated the appropriate detailed design for the project under Japan’s project loan scheme. The study team sincerely hopes that the report would contribute to the implementation of the rural water supply project in Tunisia. We wish to express our deep appreciation and gratitude to the personnel concerned of your Agency and Office in Tunisia, the Embassy of Japan in the Republic of Tunisia, as well as officials concerned of the Government of the Republic of Tunisia. Sincerely yours, Masato Fujinami Team Leader The Detailed Design Study on the Rural Water Supply Project in the Republic of Tunisia Final Report Vol.1 Main Report Summary THE DETAILED DESIGN STUDY ON THE RURAL WATER SUPPLY PROJECT IN THE REPUBLIC OF TUNISIA SUMMARY 1. Background of the Study The Government of Tunisia (GOT) requested the Government of Japan (GOJ) to extend an ODA loan for water supply facilities at 119 subprojects in 19 governorates within 541 subprojects. In response to the official request from GOT, the Overseas Economic Cooperation Fund “OECF” (present Japan Bank for International Cooperation: “JBIC”) dispatched a Special Assistance for Project Formation (SAPROF) Team in January 1999. The SAPROF Study finally selected 86 subprojects to be subjected to JBIC loan and also proposed to GOJ to request a Detailed Design Study of 44 subprojects among 86 subprojects by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to GOJ. Based on the proposal, GOT requested GOJ to conduct the Detailed Design Study on the Rural Water Supply Project (the Study) in August 1999 and GOJ decided to dispatch a JICA Preparatory Study Team to prepare the Scope of Works for the Study. The JICA Preparatory Study Team and GOT discussed the operation of the Study and signed the Scope of Work for the Study on November 4, 1999. 2. Objectives of the Study The objectives of the Study are as follows: (1) To prepare the detailed design and the tender documents for 44 subprojects called “Project 2001”, (2) To review the detailed design for 42 subprojects called “Project 2000, and (3) To pursue technology transfer to the counterpart personnel in the course of the Study.

Tunisians figure disproportionately among the foreign jihadist cohort, yet their ubiquity is somewhat confounding. Why Tunisians?

    Pinus Halepensis Mill.) Stands in Northern Africa Be Oriented Towards Wood Or Seed and Cone Production? Diagnosis and Current Potentiality

    Review Article ii FF o o r r e e s s t t doi: 10.3832/ifor2965-012 Biogeosciences and Forestry vol. 12, pp. 297-305 Should the silviculture of Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis Mill.) stands in northern Africa be oriented towards wood or seed and cone production? Diagnosis and current potentiality Wahbi Jaouadi (1-2), The aim of this work is to review studies on the silviculture of Aleppo pine (Pi- Souheila Naghmouchi (3), nus halepensis Mill.) in North Africa and the Mediterranean basin over a period (4) of 50 years. The study presents a synthesis of: (i) silviculture; (ii) wood pro- Moodi Alsubeie ductivity and growth; (iii) cone and seed production; and (vi) the socio-eco- nomic role of Aleppo pine. The results show that the production of the Aleppo pine is enhanced by the potential of the site, which is closely related to the bioclimatic stage and soil fertility. For instance, production increased from 0.4 to 4 m3 ha-1 yr-1 in an Aleppo pine stand with a dominant height varying be- tween 9.7 and 22.8 m. Previous studies confirmed that the average maximum volume in annual growth of Aleppo pine is 3.3 m3 ha-1 yr-1 for 40-year old stands at good-fertility sites. The lowest values (<0.5 m3 ha-1 yr-1) were recorded for the fourth and last class of productivity in >100-year old stands. There is high demand for Aleppo pine seeds in North Africa, making their pro- duction profitable, and this represents an important sector for the sustainable development and improvement of living-standards of the local populations.

Approach Our team conducted a preliminary assessment of alternative helicopters for counterterrorism air assault missions. Any decision to acquire an aircraft must consider many factors, including technical effectiveness, cost, maintainability, production-line capacity, training and sup- port availability, industrial offsets, and domestic and international political implications. In this preliminary analysis, we focus on the question of cost-effectiveness in the UH-60M’s primary role: Which alternative platforms could perform the assault mission, and at what cost? The core of our analysis is detailed modeling of key “mission tasks” on a sortie-by-sortie basis. Our model uses raw technical data—such as specific range, hover performance, and weight limits—to simulate the flight of each alternative platform through each sortie. This enables us to assess which platforms can per- form the required sorties, as well as how many aircraft are needed.

    The Situation DREF Final Report Tunisia

    DREF final report Tunisia: Civil Unrest DREF operation n° MDRTN004 28 September, 2011 The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) is a source of un-earmarked money created by the Federation in 1985 to ensure that immediate financial support is available for Red Cross Red Crescent response to emergencies. The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of National Societies to respond to disasters. Summary: CHF 150 000 was allocated from the IFRC’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) 25 January, 2011 to support the national society in delivering assistance to some 5000 beneficiaries, or to replenish disaster preparedness stocks. For several months the Tunisian Red Crescent has marked its strong presence in the society by assisting poor families in need and alleviating the suffering of others affected by the events of the revolution that began on December 17, 2010. Throughout Tunisia, volunteers provided moral and material assistance to more than 1000 families mainly in ten cities. Since the Libyan crisis has occurred which took a toll over the Tunisian-Libyan borders, it was not an easy work for the Tunisian Red Crescent Volunteers to handle the effects of the internal unrest and the pressure along the Tunisian-Libyan border . In March 2011, the Tunisian Red Crescent Society distributed food baskets after the civil unrest. TRC The total amount spent was CHF 94,430. The remaining balance of CHF 55,570 will be reimbursed to DREF. The major donors to the DREF are the Irish, Italian, Netherlands and Norwegian governments and ECHO.
