Phase I Environmental And AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK GROUP SANITATION PROGRAMME FOR MUNICIPALITIES WITH LESS THAN 10 000 INHABITANTS - PHASE I ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK SUMMARY July 2018 Programme Name : Sanitation Programme for Programme Number: P-TN-EB0-004 Municipalities with Less Than 10 000 Inhabitants Country : Tunisia Department: RDGN Division : RDGN.2 Programme Environmental Category: 2 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. INTRODUCTION In compliance with the country’s Strategic Development Plan “Tunisia 2016-2020” and to improve the socio-economic, environmental and health conditions of Tunisia’s population by generalising sanitation services in all of the country’s municipalities, ONAS has embarked on the construction of sanitation facilities (systems, pumping stations and treatment plants) in 33 municipalities (Phase I) with less than 10 000 inhabitants. The sanitation of these 33 municipalities will help to improve living, hygiene and environmental health conditions in small urban centres and contribute to protecting natural resources (water, soil, wildlife and flora) by reducing the negative impact of discharging crude wastewater into the natural environment (rivers, lowlands, wadis, etc.). It will adequately address the aspirations and grievances of citizens affected by the lack of a collective and reliable sanitation system that complies with health protection and environmental hygiene requirements. The objective of the programme is to construct new wastewater treatment facilities, and renovate and modernise existing sanitation systems. These investments will improve wastewater treatment services for about 150 000 inhabitants, according to estimates, and contribute to limiting soil pollution in the programme areas. Once the programme becomes operational, it is expected to generate significant benefits not only environmentally and socially, but also in terms of health and safety, especially through pollution prevention. However, the commissioning of sub-projects implemented under the programme may lead to some environmental and social problems that should be rapidly solved by mitigation and management measures. Based on the outcomes of the environmental assessment conducted, ONAS’s capacity to manage this type of programme and the size of the facilities to be constructed, the programme has been classified under Environmental Category 2, in accordance with the Bank’s Environmental and Social Assessment Procedures (ESAPs 2015). It should be noted that any sub-project that may be classified under Environmental Category 1 will be excluded from the programme and will not be eligible for financing. The programme has an Environmental and Social Management Framework, an Environmental, Social, Health and Safety Procedure, and a Land Procurement and Loss Compensation Plan. This document is the summary of the programme’s Environmental and Social Management Framework (ESMF), which seeks to: • Establish a specific environmental and social monitoring framework for sanitation projects with (i) the definition of procedures for preparing, disseminating, implementing and updating the environmental and social guidelines used; (ii) the institution of a system of socio-economic surveys to be conducted prior to works; and (iii) the establishment of a complaints management procedure; • Develop a mechanism for the environmental, social monitoring and evaluation of ONAS’s activities with: (i) the development of environmental and social indicators for 2 monitoring programme activities; (ii) the establishment of a sanitation sector environmental and social databank; and (iii) the retrospective supervision and evaluation of activities for the assessment of the effective consideration of environmental and social measures; • Develop an environmental and social surveillance mechanism within ONAS based on: (i) information, education and communication (IEC) on the quality of ONAS’s projects and environmental actions; (ii) coordination, environmental and social exchanges between the sanitation sector and other government and non-government institutions; and (iii) management of complaints from programme beneficiaries and local residents. 2. PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION The programme comprises three components: (i) Sanitation Facility Development (primary and secondary systems, transfer systems, pumping stations and treatment plants); (ii) Capacity Building and Institutional Support; and (iii) Programme Management (engineering studies, land procurement, operation and technical assistance). 2.1 Sanitation Facility Development The works to be carried out in small municipalities include: • The establishment\extension\rehabilitation of sanitation systems, including pumping stations; • The construction of new treatment plants and rehabilitation of existing ones.

At the central level (central departments): - General programme coordination; - Coordination of RD activities (procurements, studies, works monitoring, etc.). - Programme financial and accounting management; - Technical assistance to RDs. The programme is implemented by an Operational Programme Management Unit (OPMU) based at the ONAS Headquarters. The programme cost is estimated at EUR 163.3 million. 2.4 Programme Alternatives The only programme alternative explored is the "without programme" situation, which consists in maintaining the current situation where domestic or industrial wastewater is discharged mostly into the natural environment without treatment (wadis or simply streets in front of houses). In practice, maintaining the current situation would mean further degradation of sanitary conditions and increase in the pollution load in programme areas, leading to more diseases and deepening poverty that is not consistent with Tunisia’s sanitation development policy. 4 For each sub-project and during detailed engineering studies, the selection of the WWTP construction site alternatives, the transfer/backflow systems layout and the treatment process alternatives will be analysed. The selection will be based on environmental and social criteria to give preference to the most natural and human environment-friendly alternative. 3. NATIONAL AND REGIONAL BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL INFORMATION At end-2016, the key national sanitation indicators were as follows: • Total urban population of about 7 million; • Population connected to the ONAS system: 6.3 million, representing 90.3 % of the total population. It should be noted that ONAS is not designed to cater for non-urban localities. • Number of WWTPs: 115 • System length: 16 337 kilometres. • Out of 260 million cubic metres of wastewater collected, 255.2 million cubic metres are treated annually, that is a 98.15% treatment rate. The programme impact area covers 33 municipalities in 19 governorates. These are mostly rural municipalities whose population does not exceed 10 000.

  • 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.

[E-mail: [email protected]] Received 09 April 2014; revised 12 September 2014 As the presence of loggerhead turtle nests has occasionally been reported in Chebba (Tunisia), we carried out a survey in "Essir" and "Sidi Messaoud" beaches during summer 2013 to assess the actual state of the nesting population. We report ten nesting events by loggerhead sea turtles. In comparison to past records, this number is relatively high and suggests that Chebba may host a much higher nesting activity than previously thought and higher monitoring effort is recommended, especially in certain beaches. Results indicate that beaches monitored so far are suitable for development, resulting in high hatching and emergence success; incubation durations indicate that majority of hatchlings produced are males.
