The Water Users Association will ensure cooperation between farmers through sharing knowledge and farming techniques to maximize overall yield and wellbeing of the crops. The association will also establish farming process cooperation plans between the organization and the farmers, where the organization selects the crops to be farmed during each season and the farmers apply these plans.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"color: #0c71c3\"><strong>Tunisia<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;padding-left: 30px\">\n<li><strong>Nature Hub <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The main aspect of the socioeconomic intervention in Tunisia involves the creation of a Nature Hub that will include a shop (Dukkan) that will support sustainable practices and sell eco-friendly hand-made products.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The HUB will serve the following groups:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;padding-left: 30px\" class=\"dashed\">\n<li>Academia: by securing a Youth Center where they can receive job training, capacity building and practice in three sectors: biodiversity, climate change, renewable energy, and ecofriendly food production.<\/li>\n<li>Small enterprises; where entrepreneurship will be supported by securing the Natural shop (Dukkan) to sell their hand-made products.<\/li>\n<li>Quriat island and its researchers by installing PV System as a model of the clean and renewable source of energy and small water treatment plant which will secure a clean drinking water.<\/li>\n<li>Women CBOs that will be trained on how to produce ecological products such as ecological fishing nets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;padding-left: 30px\">\n<li><strong>Voice of Children Organization<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Another social aspect will be implemented in Sawt Al-Tifl CBO, an organization that supports orphans and single mothers.
