In this context the IOBC/WPRS Working Group "Fruit Flies ofEconomic Importance" organized the "II International Open Meeting", under the high patronages of the Instituto de Investigayao CientificaTropical (IICT) and the mentioned InternationalOrganization. This meeting usually takes place every fouryears and has forpurpose the: - Establishment of contacts and exchange of knowledge between specialists in this area of science and also to enhance effortsfor a wider cooperation among the differentsgroups. - Evaluation of the progress made in the improvement of the control techniques and identificationof new areas forfuture programmes involving laboratories in different countries, aiming forthe setting ofan effectiveprotection without negative consequences not only forman but also the environment. - We hope that the friendly spirit and enthusiasm that animated that "II International Open Meeting" in wich participated more than forty scientists of eleven countries, that presented twenty six communications, maybe materialized in concrete and effectivecontrol of one of the great nuisances ofagriculture: Fruit flies. Finally we must not forget the cooperation and support not only of the IOBC/WPRS, namely of it's President Dr. D. Royle and the SecretaryGeneral Dr. S. Poitout, but also ofthe IICT Presidence, especially of the Vice-President Prof.A. Reffega,whose confidence, support and incentive greatly contributedto the success ofthis Meeting. Finally we must not forget the cooperation of the Vice-President Dr. Inacio Guerreiro, who presided to the open Session, representing the President ofIICT who was absent in an official mission. - ii - ORGANIZING COMMITTEE - J.

Independent Review of the Forest Investment Plan of Tunisia 3 II. Matrix: Response to comments and remarks of the independent expert 25 2 I. Independent Review of the Forest Investment Plan of Tunisia Reviewer: Marjory-Anne Bromhead Date of review: (first draft review, 18th August 2016) PART I: Setting the context (from the reviewers overall understanding of the FIP document) Tunisia is the first country in North Africa and the Middle East to benefit from FIP support1, and provides an important example of a country where climate change mitigation and climate resilience go hand in hand. Tunisia is largely “forest poor”, with forests concentrated in the high rainfall areas in the north and North West of the country and covering only 5 percent of the territory (definitions vary). However rangelands are more widespread, covering 27 percent of the land area and are also a source of rural livelihoods and carbon sequestration, while both forests and rangelands are key to broader watershed management (Tunisia is water-scarce). Tunisia, together with the North Africa and Middle East region more broadly, is one of the regions most affected by climate change, with higher temperatures, more periods of extreme heat and more erratic rainfall. REDD actions will help to control erosion and conserve soil moisture and fertility, increasing climate resilience, while also reducing the country’s carbon footprint; the two benefits go hand in hand.

  • Carthage Was the Center Or Capital City of the Ancient Carthaginian
    Carthage was the center or capital city of the ancient Carthaginian civilization, on the eastern side of the Lake of Tunis in what is now the Tunis Governorate in Tunisia. Carthage was widely considered the most important trading hub of the Ancient Mediterranean and was arguably one of the most affluent cities of the Ancient World. The city developed from a Phoenician colony into the capital of a Punic empire which dominated large parts of the Southwest Mediterranean during the first millennium BC. The legendary Queen Dido is regarded as the founder of the city, though her historicity has been questioned. The ancient Carthage city was destroyed by the Roman Republic in the Third Punic War in 146 BC and then re-developed as Roman Carthage, which became the major city of the Roman Empire in the province of Africa. The city was sacked and destroyed by Umayyad forces after the Battle of Carthage in 698 to prevent it from being reconquered by the Byzantine Empire. It remained occupied during the Muslim period and was used as a fort by the Muslims until the Hafsid period when it was taken by the Crusaders with its inhabitants massacred during the Eighth Crusade. Catheral of St. Vincent de Paul: is a Roman Catholic church located in Tunis, Tunisia. The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Vincent de Paul, patron saint of charity. It is the episcopal see of the Archdiocese of Tunis and is situated at Place de l'Indépendence in Ville Nouvelle, a crossroads between Avenue Habib Bourguiba and Avenue de France, opposite the French embassy.

Chapter 1.5 The Power of a Disappearance: Water in the Jerid Region of Tunisia Vincent Battesti In arid North Africa, control over water has long been and continues to be central to political and economic power for a wide variety of actors. The recent history of Tunisia, and particularly that of the oasis gardens of the Jerid region, demonstrates the social and environmental consequences of the transfer of control over water from local to colonial and then national elites. The oasis is the scene of confl icts over fresh water resources; local people are con- stantly adapting to new situations, learning to diversify their practices and discourses.

  • Internal Ex-Post Evaluation for Technical Cooperation Project
    Internal Ex-Post Evaluation for Technical Cooperation Project conducted by Tunisia Office: June, 2020 Country Name Project for Strengthening the Capacity for Tourism Promotion Republic of Tunisia I. Project Outline In Republic of Tunisia, the tourism sector is one of the main industries accounting for around 15% of GDP and it created more than 490,000 both direct and indirect employment in 2010. The country had a variety of tourism resources such as historical sites represented by the UNESCO World Cultural Heritages, traditional culture as well as natural tourism resources including the Mediterranean Sea and the Sahara Desert. Nevertheless, the country had relatively lower profitability from the tourism industry compared with neighbor tourism-oriented countries such as Morocco and Turkey. Background JICA implemented “the Study on Tourism Development Master Plan in Republic of Tunisia” (2000-2001) for the purpose of designing a tourism master plan and action plans for the country, and also conducted the Data Collection Survey in 2010 to examine the possibility of future corporation in Tunisia. However, the number of the foreign tourists arrival drastically decreased after the Revolution of January 2011 and it was necessary to attract new tourist segments from Asian countries in addition to the current segment of European and its neighbor countries in order to recover the tourism industry. Through i) establishment of an organizational mechanism for promoting the public and private partnership in the tourism sector, ii) training on tourism marketing and promotion, and iii) planning, implementation and monitoring of the tourism marketing and promotion activities based on the action plans, the project aimed at strengthening tourism marketing and promotion capacity in the target areas, thereby contributing to diversification Objectives of the of tourists.

E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected]. *Corresponding author. Received 20 November 2014 │ Accepted 25 December 2014 │ Published online 8 January 2015. Abstract In this study 13 leech species from Tunisia are listed. They belong to 2 orders, 2 suborders, 4 families and 11 genera. The paper includes also data about hosts and habitats, distribution in the world and in Tunisia. Faunistic informations on leeches were found in literature and in the results of recent surveys conducted by the authors in the North East and the South of the country. The objectives of this study were to summarize historical and recent taxonomic data, and to propose an identification key for species signalized. This checklist is to be completed, taking into account the hydrobiological network of the country especially the North West region, which may reveal more species in the future. Key words : Hirudinea, Checklist, leeches, geographic distribution, Tunisia, identification key. Introduction Available information on the distribution, taxonomy, and ecology of Tunisian leeches has been scattered throughout various historical (Blanchard 1891, 1908, Megnin 1891, Seurat 1922) as well as recent papers (Ben Ahmed et al. 2008a, 2008b, 2008c, Ben Ahmed & Tekaya 2009, Ben Ahmed et al., 2013, Nesemann & Neubert 1994).
