The PALME approach, put into practice, began to materialize and Service Delivery Improvement Programs (SDIPs) were developed in ten municipalities. This holistic and integrated approach towards service delivery provided partner municipalities with the technical tool that they could employ independently to assess each service or area of work and approach its improvement in a systematic and integrated manner. This was illustrated through TADAEEM’s support to mobilize engagement between municipal councils, executive sections and civil society on the articulation of Annual Investment Plans. TADAEEM also provided training to council members on municipal structures and inter- relationships, and developed demand-driven

    L’HISTOIRE DE L’EAU ET DES INSTALLATIONS HYDRAULIQUES DANS LE BASSIN DE KAIROUAN. (pages 59-64) TEXTE DE FAOUZI MAHFOUDH SAMIR BACCOUCH BECHIR YAZIDI TUNIS NOVEMBRE 2004 (Retrieved on October 23, 2008, from http://www.iwmi.cgiar.org/assessment/FILES/word/ProjectDocuments/Merguellil/Histoire%20eau%20Kairouan.pdf ) 6- PROPAGATION OF THE KAIROUAN MODEL We saw through the preceding developments that a particular kind of circular cistern was developed in Kairouan and its zone of influence as far as the northern borders and more precisely those with the Proconsulaire . This type had been identified as Aghlabide. Regarding them, Solignac has written: “On this subject, one can pose the question of the origin of this type, of which the basins of Dahmani seem to have been among the first applications. Research in Persian, Arabic, Syrian, Egyptian and Byzantine literature and iconography, has been made and did not provide any frame of comparison. It thus indicates, probably, a new and original process … a conclusion therefore is essential, that it is indeed a Moslem technique and that it is specifically African” 77 . It is now well established that the circular basins are not specifically African. The work of Saad Al-Rashid on the pilgrimage route between Kûfa and Mecca, named Darb Zubaydah, revealed several tanks similar to those which had been believed to be typically African 78 . Among the best known examples, one quotes those of Birkat Ath Thulaymah (site n°6), Birkat Al Rashidiya (site n° 10), Birkatt Tuzzi and Birkat Uraynah (site n° 25 et° 26), Dlay' ash Shaqaq (site n°31) and Birkat Al - Kharabah (site n° 38).

  • A Study in Dispossession: the Political Ecology of Phosphate in Tunisia
    A study in dispossession: the political ecology of phosphate in Tunisia Mathieu Rousselin1 Independent Researcher, Dortmund, Germany Abstract This article seeks to evidence the social, environmental and political repercussions of phosphate extraction and transformation on two peripheral Tunisian cities (Gabes and Gafsa). After positing the difference between class environmentalism and political ecology, it addresses the harmful effects of phosphate transformation on the world's last coastal oasis and on various cities of the Gulf of Gabes. It then sheds light on the gross social, environmental and health inequalities brought about by phosphate extraction in the mining region of Gafsa. The confiscatory practices of the phosphate industry are subsequently linked with global production and distribution chains at the international level as well as with centralized and authoritarian forms of government at the national and local level. Dispossessed local communities have few alternatives other than violent protest movements and emigration towards urban centers of wealth. Using the recent experience in self-government in the Jemna palm grove, the article ends with a reflection on the possible forms of subaltern resistance to transnational extractivism and highlights the ambiguous role of the new "democratic state" as a power structure reproducing patterns of domination and repression inherited from the colonial period and cemented under the dictatorship of Ben Ali. Keywords: political ecology, transnational extractivism, phosphate, Tunisia. Résumé Cet article s'efforce de mettre en évidence les répercussions sociales, environnementales et politiques de l'industrie d'extraction et de transformation du phosphate sur deux villes de la périphérie tunisienne (Gabès et Gafsa). Après avoir exposé la différence entre l'environnementalisme de classe et l'écologie politique, cet article analyse les effets délétères de la transformation du phosphate sur la dernière oasis littorale du monde ainsi que sur plusieurs villes du Golfe de Gabès.
