The Loan in support of the PNO4 became effective in June 2011 (six months later than originally planned, mainly because of the socio-political events associated with 2011 Revolution in Tunisia). After a good start in the Page 1 of 8 Public Disclosure Authorized The World Bank Report No: ISR7645 second half of 2011, Project implementation experienced a slowdown in the first half of 2012. The effects of these additional delays are reflected in the limited variations of most progress indicators that remain below the target values for the period, and in the low level disbursements of 3%. It was agreed upon during the mission on the need to speed up the pace of implementation to make up for the accumulated delays. This will require exceeding the average annual rate of disbursements of 17% needed to ensure that most planed investments under the PNO4 are carried out in a timely fashion with concrete and visible results on the ground for the targeted beneficiary communities. To this effect, adjustments to simplify operational procedures and modalities of interventions have been identified, and the Project operations manual will be updated accordingly.

  • Tunisia Elections Dispatch No. 3 Pre-Elections Period
    Tunisia Elections Dispatch No. 3 Pre-Elections Period Introduction This is the third in a series of reports the International Republican Institute (IRI) is issuing over the course of the next few months as Tunisia holds parliamentary and presidential elections. The parliamentary elections will be held Sunday, October 26, 2014, while the presidential elections are scheduled for November 23 with a potential run-off occurring before the end of 2014. This report is a follow-up to IRI’s Tunisia Elections Dispatch No. 2 and Tunisia Elections Dispatch No. 1 and draws on the observation and analysis of IRI’s long-term observers deployed at strategic locations throughout Tunisia. IRI’s long-term observation mission is based in Bizerte, Mahdia, Medenine, Tozeur and Tunis, but has provided coverage of 20 of Tunisia’s 24 governorates. The long-term observer (LTO) delegation includes representation from Egypt, France, Italy, Jordan, Morocco, Portugal and Togo and has been active since September 1, 2014. IRI also deployed an LTO to witness the voter registration period in July and August of this year. To support the elections, IRI will conduct international election observation missions for both the parliamentary and presidential elections, deploying long-term and short-term observers throughout the country to monitor the pre- and post-elections processes, assess the transparency and credibility of the process, and, afterward, offer analysis and recommendations for future electoral cycles. Per Tunisia’s new constitution, the elections are being administered by the Independent High Authority for Elections (ISIE), which is a permanent independent public authority responsible for ensuring democratic, free, pluralistic, fair and transparent elections.

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.

  • Analysis of the Tunisian Tax Incentives Regime
    Analysis of the Tunisian Tax Incentives Regime March 2013 OECD Paris, France Analysis of the Tunisian Tax Incentives Regime OECD mission, 5-9 November 2012 “…We are working with Tunisia, who joined the Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters in July 2012, to review its tax incentives regime and to support its efforts to develop a new investment law.” Remarks by Angel Gurría, OECD Secretary-General, delivered at the Deauville Partnership Meeting of the Finance Ministers in Tokyo, 12 October 2012 1. Executive Summary This analysis of the Tunisian tax incentives regime was conducted by the OECD Tax and Development Programme1 at the request of the Tunisian Ministry of Finance. Following discussions with the government, the OECD agreed to conduct a review of the Tunisian tax incentive system within the framework of the Principles to Enhance the Transparency and Governance of Tax Incentives for Investment in Developing Countries.2 As requested by the Tunisian authorities, the objective of this review was to understand the current system’s bottlenecks and to propose changes to improve efficiency of the system in terms of its ability to mobilise revenue on the one hand and to attract the right kind of investment on the other. The key findings are based on five days of intensive consultations and analysis. Key Findings and Recommendations A comprehensive tax reform effort, including tax policy and tax administration, is critical in the near term to mobilize domestic resources more effectively. The tax reform programme should include, but not be limited to, the development of a new Investment Incentives Code, aimed at transforming the incentives scheme.

The agricultural sector plays an important role in its economy, accounting for around 11% of Tunisia’s domestic national product (GDP) and a third of the working population. However, in Tunisia, which gets very little rainfall, most of the arable land is found in either arid or semi-arid areas, and agricultural regions that rely primarily on rainwater frequently suffer major damage from drought. To stabilize agricultural production and increase crop yields, development of irrigation facilities is indispensable. On the other hand, since surface and groundwater resources are limited, securing enough water for agricultural irrigation is a major challenge, especially in the dry season. Under these circumstances, treated sewage is an important source of relatively stable water supply whether in the rainy season or dry season, and so effective utilization of this water resource was sought. Around 1965, Tunisia began implementing a series of irrigation projects based on the use of treated sewage water for agriculture, and, on the basis of that experience, promoted development plans (including the present project) related to sewage treatment facilities and irrigation facilities.

It allows the structuring and the lateral and vertical extent of sedimentary fill to be determined. This study has concerned a qualitative and quantitative gravity analysis of Sidi Bouzid Basin in Central Tunisia. Bouguer anomaly analysis and Gravity data filtering allow us to emphasize the structures affecting the basin. The Automatic Lineament Tracing method helps to quantify the different gravity responses of faults located in the shallow and deep sedimen- tary sections and in the basement. The elaborated structural map of the study area constitutes a useful docu- ment for rationalizing the future groundwater exploration in the arid area of central Tunisia since it shows faults dipping and deep hydrogeologic sub-basin delineation.

  • Information Report on the Municipal Elections in Tunisia (6 May 2018)
    35th SESSION Report CG35(2018)10prov 24 September 2018 Information report on the municipal elections in Tunisia (6 May 2018) Rapporteur:1 Xavier CADORET, France (SOC, L) Summary Following the invitation by the Tunisian Government, the Congress deployed an Electoral Assessment Mission of reduced scope to observe the municipal elections in Tunisia on 6 May 2018, which were the first elections held in this country at the local level after the Arab Spring of 2011. The Congress delegation welcomed the fact that, despite difficult structural conditions, both in terms of the political and socio-economic situation of the country, the vote was successfully accomplished and carried out, by and large, in line with international legal standards for elections and good practices. It stressed that the electoral success of truly independent candidates and the number of female, young and disabled candidates who were elected gives rise to hope for further democratic progress at the local level. In view of the low turnout, not least due to the socio-political situation and political disenchantment in the country, particular attention should be paid, according to the Congress, to the situation of the media, especially with regard to the creation of a regulatory framework which allows for a fully-fledged electoral campaign as part of a genuine democratic environment of elections. Simplification also with regard to eligibility requirements and the submission of candidatures could be conducive to the political participation process in general. The Congress concludes that in the medium term, until the next municipal elections, the Tunisian authorities should strive for strengthening of the local level and further decentralisation steps which involve extraordinary opportunities for the country as a whole.

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The pearl oyster Pinctada radiata (Leach, 1814) is an alien species introduced to the Mediterranean Sea and recorded in Tunisia many years ago. However, since its record in Tunisian inshore areas, no studies have been carried out about the spread of this invasive mollusc. Thus, the status of this species is still poorly known and there is a knowledge- gap about its distribution and ecology.

  • The Tunisian Mediterranean Sea Waters and Islands “Naming Issues”
    The Tunisian Mediterranean Sea waters and islands “Naming issues” Naïma FRIHA, mapping engineer National Centre For Cartography and Remote Sensing Route La Marsa, BP: 1080-200, Tunis, TUNISIA [email protected] Abstract This paper gives an overview about the Mediterranean Sea. Focus is brought to the Tunisian Mediterranean littoral and its components particularly the gulfs, the lakes and the islands; wonderful sites which contribute to the beauty of the country and its economic development. Highlights on their naming are also shaded in this paper according to the availability of reliable data sources. General background The Mediterranean -centre of the earth, cradle of the civilization- holds a unique place in our collective consciousness. Although it occupies an area no more than 7% of the total area of oceans in the world, its influence on human behaviour and world events belies its modest size. The name is applied not only to the sea but to the area around it, its people, vegetation, climate, countries - and way of life1 The name Mediterranean is derived from the Latin mediterraneus, meaning "inland" or -Al-Bahr al-Abyadh Al ,ﺍﻟﺑﺣﺭ ﺍﻷﺑﻳﺽ ﺍﻟﻣﺗﻭﺳﻁ“ in the middle of the earth’’. Its Arabic name is" Mutawassit, meaning “the White Middle Sea’’. The Mediterranean Sea was the greatest water route for merchants and travelers of ancient times, allowing for trade and cultural exchange between civilizations. Indeed, the historical record of civilizations around the borders of the sea indicates that 1 European Space Agency: Applications of satellite remote sensing over the Mediterranean Sea. - 113 - significant changes in sea level have occurred like the ancient port of Carthage which has been far removed from harbor facilities 1.
