WORKSHOP ON VALORIZATION OF TREATED WASTEWATER

IN PERIURBAN AGROFORESTRY

DECEMBER 2013

Signature of a co-management agreement for the treated

wastewater basin of Sidi Amor

1. Impulse and agreement of the tutelage: August 2013 CRDA Ariana and GDA Sidi Amor

2. A half-year of reflection: visits, explorations and work meetings

3. The founding workshop: December 2013

4. A founding text: signature of a framework agreement: January 2014

5. Visit of the World Bank: February 14, 2014

Towards a collegial montage of a project certainly complex and atypical but remarkable

and promising

THE SECOND CLICK

"Following the recent mid-term review conducted from February 6 to 14, 2014, it was

recommended, in consultation with ONAS and GDA Sidi Amor, the implementation of the

GEF grant to support the Sidi Amor GDA project through (i) the financing of the

demonstration, awareness and training project on wastewater reuse through the agreement

co-signed by ONAS, and implemented directly by the GDA. We firmly believe that this pilot

would be a powerful tool for coordination between the multiple actors of the wastewater

reuse, to which the contribution of ONAS would thus be easily recognized; (ii) the

mobilization of additional technical assistance to support the GDA in the implementation of

this Project >> (Excerpt BM ONAS exchange)
