On 29 and 30 September 2026, partners and ambassadors of the Gov4GreenMed project gathered at CITET (International Center for Environmental Technologies of Tunis) for the project’s Mid-Term Event, bringing together representatives from across the Mediterranean to review progress, exchange experiences, and reinforce collaboration towards more sustainable waste and food waste management practices.

A key highlight of the event was a study visit to the Bizerte composting plant, where participants observed how municipal green waste is transformed into organic compost used for gardening and landscaping services. The visit showcased a practical example of circular economy principles in action, demonstrating how organic waste can be recovered and converted into valuable resources while reducing environmental impacts.

Throughout the two-day event, project partners and ambassadors presented updates on their pilot actions, shared lessons learned, and explored opportunities to strengthen participatory governance approaches in waste management. Discussions focused on fostering greater citizen involvement, improving local decision-making processes, and encouraging the adoption of sustainable practices across Mediterranean communities.

The programme also included a dedicated communication workshop, emphasizing the importance of effective stakeholder engagement and the crucial role of project ambassadors in connecting with local communities. Participants exchanged strategies and tools to enhance public awareness, encourage participation, and support the long-term success of environmental initiatives.

The event reaffirmed Gov4GreenMed’s commitment to placing citizens at the heart of the green transition. By building trust, promoting collaboration, and strengthening communication, the project aims to create lasting environmental impact and support more resilient and sustainable territories across the Mediterranean region.

The Mid-Term Event concluded with a shared commitment to continue learning from one another and working together towards a greener future.
