2.2 Detailed description of the Approach

Detailed description of the Approach:

La révolution tunisienne a souligné la nécessité d'une plus grande participation des citoyens aux processus de développement rural et de gestion des ressources naturelles.
En plaçant la décentralisation et l'autonomie fiscale et administrative des collectivités territoriales au cœur de la nouvelle constitution, la DG/ACTA souhaite promouvoir une approche de planification concertée pour une gestion intégrée et durable des ressources naturelles vulnérables, un développement économique en milieu rural et une amélioration de la gouvernance pour le développement territorial. Et afin d'atteindre ces objectifs, la DGACTA a commencé la mise en place d'une plateforme multi
institutionnelle de collecte, traitement, analyse et diffusion des informations, d'une part, et de planification concertée et d'aide à la décision, d'autre part. C'est l’observatoire territorial de gestion des ressources naturelles.
