Integrated resource management
Modernising irrigation techniques and rehabilitating water sources to reduce losses.
Outlook 2030
Towards territorial resilience for the 2026–2030 period.
A phase of transformation
Building on its legacy, APEL is responding to the climate emergency and the imperatives of national sovereignty
Our future actions are structured around three priority areas.
Area 1
Resilience to water stress and water security
In a context where Tunisia is below the critical water-stress threshold, APEL is contributing to the “Water 2050” strategy.
Nature-based solutions
Restoring degraded forest ecosystems to support groundwater recharge.
Area 2
Climate change adaptation and green entrepreneurship
The association supports the ecological transition of the North-West.
Resilient agriculture
Promoting heat-tolerant crops and diversifying varieties to stabilise yields in the face of climate shocks.
Support for green entrepreneurship
Supporting young people and women in developing sustainable projects (ecotourism, agricultural biotechnologies) through dedicated funds such as the ADAPT programme.
Area 3
Contributing to food sovereignty
The North-West is Tunisia’s breadbasket. APEL is strengthening this role.
Supporting the cereal sector
Providing technical support to smallholders in using selected seeds and improving productivity.
Promoting short supply chains
Strengthening SMSAs to support local food autonomy and better remuneration for producers.

Ready to act as a field operator for the new government priorities
As drought persists, APEL’s work is more vital than ever in helping reduce rural exodus. It is positioning itself as the preferred field partner for the ecological transition in Tunisia’s North-West.
