The operational planning workshop of the Phase II activities of the "Regional Cooperation for Sustainable Management of Water Resources in the Maghreb – CREM" project, jointly implemented by the Sahara and Sahel Observatory, BGR and GIZ, was convened in Tunis with the presence of representatives of the partners of the three affected countries: Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia.
The objective of this workshop was to define in a clear and participatory manner, with the presence of all the partners, the activities for the next phase of the project whose implementation is due from January 2019 to June 2020.
In his opening speech, Mr. Khatim KHERRAZ, Executive Secretary of the Sahara and Sahel Observatory, reminded of the groundwater resources scarcity issue in the Maghreb, for which the OSS works with partners to find sustainable solutions. He indicated that the CREM project, through the various achievements of its first phase (2014-2018), has substantially contributed to the accomplishment of this objective.
