The support mechanism will allow local farmers to adopt advanced water management technologies alongside specialized technical accompaniment.
On July 8, 2026, the ‘GREEN TEAM’ from the National Agronomic Institute of Tunisia (INAT) successfully hosted an Information Day to unveil MAENA support mechanism—a targeted initiative designed to empower local farmers and accelerate the adoption of Small Water Cycle Restoration (SWCR) practices across the country.
The event gathered a diverse group of key stakeholders, including local farmers, representatives from the Regional Agricultural Development Authority (CRDA), local agricultural extension centers (CTV), and various institutional partners.
Throughout the info day, attendees explored MAENA’s core objectives and the innovative water-efficiency technologies planned for deployment in Tunisia. The project team detailed the specific components of the support framework, which offers farmers direct access to operational SWCR practices on Tunisian demonstration farms, paired with specialized technical coaching, continuous accompaniment, and hands-on training.
The resulting discussions reflected a strong collective commitment from both farmers and regional institutions to transition toward sustainable water management and climate-resilient farming.
As a next step, the Mediterranean Renewable Energy Centre (MEDREC) and INAT will launch a Call for Applications to select local farmers who will adopt the project’s cutting-edge technologies and receive direct, hands-on technical guidance.
Stay tuned for the official launch of the application process.
