The Indigenous Soil and Water Conservation (ISWC) project in Tunisia coordinated by a team from the Institut des Régions Arides (Arid Zones Institute), a research organisation, is working in central and southern Tunisia.
Here there are regional radio stations in the cities of Gafsa, Tataouine and Gabès. This area was of interest for the project, as two-thirds of the innovators identified live in the zones covered by this station. In addition, a new programme “Agriculture and Innovation” was seen as a replacement for an existing programme on “Agricultural Extension”.
