OENOMED met en oeuvre des Chartes Locales pour une vitiviniculture durable dans les Aires Protégées de la Méditerranée
Le projet OENOMED s'engage à promouvoir une viticulture innovante et durable dans les aires protégées de la Méditerranée. Pour ce faire, des Chartes Locales ont été élaborées, définissant des critères et encourageant l'adoption de pratiques culturales durables spécifiques à chaque territoire impliqué dans le projet. L'objectif principal de ces chartes est de gérer de manière durable les ressources naturelles essentielles à la viticulture, notamment la préservation de l'eau, de la qualité du sol et de la biodiversité. De plus, elles visent à promouvoir la production d'éco-services par les vignobles, tels que l'économie circulaire et des dispositifs pour une gestion responsable de l'irrigation. Ces Chartes Locales définissent des normes minimales permettant aux vignobles de prétendre à l'appellation "Vins des Aires Protégées de la Méditerranée". Cette sous-appellation reconnaît les efforts des producteurs pour contribuer à la préservation des aires protégées et à la durabilité de la vitiviniculture.
International training on fishery diversification
Within the FISH MED NET project, the Partner CIHEAM Bari organized International and local/national training addressing the issue of fishery diversification activities. The training targeted trainers and mentors who are in charge of implementing a local training to fishermen, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and business organizations/cooperatives on the fishery sector of the target territories of the project. The main training objective is to increase the level of training of fishers by supporting diversification through the development of complementary activities related to the main activity of fishing. The training focus on different areas of expertise to strengthen the skills of the beneficiaries and broaden their knowledge through training sessions led by international experts in the fishery sector. The e-training is available in all the languages of the project (It,En,Fr,Ar).
Capitalization Plan
FISH MED NET Capitalization Plan is the guiding document to disseminate the final results and outputs of the project and to capitalize them in order to promote debates and advocacy actions at both regional and Euro-Mediterranean level. The plan provides a comprehensive overview of the capitalization strategy, as well as a roadmap to carry out capitalization actions to be implementedby all project partners. FISH MED NET capitalisation is aimed at consolidating the capital built by the project, with the objectives of making the knowledge and results generated by the project more accessible, improving transfer of knowledge to a wider audience of target groups at Euro-Mediterranean level.
Creating synergies and cooperation with key stakeholders, organizations and projects at EuroMediterranean level, building on existing knowledge and experiences. Within the Capitalization plan, FISH MED NET developed a common brouchure coming from the event, the Blue growth Symposium held in Beirut with the aim to develop joint strategies and initiatives to strengthen alliances, synergies and capitalization strategies between ENI CBC Med projects and other stakeholders in the Blue Economy in the Mediterranean.
Standard Packages for Public Private Partnerships Agreement
FISH MED NET involves public and private partner organizations from France, Italy, Tunisia, Lebanon and Palestine. The project aimed to develop Mediterranean Alliances between the enterprises active in the Blue economy following the diversification of artisanal fishing, and to develop public authorities' capacity to encourage sustainable development of the fishing sector. Following the analysis “Mapping of the needs of the Public Authorities related to fishery activities and support schemes in place”, as well as the results of the rounds tables held in all partner countries that have engaged both public and private stakeholders from the fishery sector, the Ministry of Agriculture of Lebanon, in cooperation with all partners, has produced some standard packages including procedures and formats that might be useful to develop Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs).
According to the different national contexts, norms and legislations, the typologies of potential PPPs could change and vary from country to country. Also considering the differences between the fishery sectors in the involved countries at economic, social and legislative level, there is a certain level of heterogeneity within these countries. So that, it must be noted that the standard packages should be always adapted to the country’s characteristics and norms, and must not in any way be used as a substitute for specific legal advice. The following standard packages are identified on the basis of existing practices of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in each target territory, and includes: 1. The concession agreement; 2. The memorandum of understanding; 3.Community-led local development initiatives; 4.The service agreement.
E-commerce platform
FISH MED NET aims to reach as many fishing communities as possible by supporting and promoting the cooperation among all fishers involved in the Mediterranean. The e-commerce platform collects and shows all the small enterprises and cooperatives active in the tourism, food, aquaculture and servicestocommunity cluster in the Mediterranean area. It includes the profile of the counselling desk, to provide information on how to become part of this Mediterranean community to conduct the business activity in complete harmony with their local community all in respect of the United Nations Sustainalbe Development Goals (UN SDGs). The counseling desk will be able to assist fishers by providing the necessary documentation to register your own SME, to explain how the Business Alliances can help boost your business and begin this positive environment of cooperation. The e-commerce platform collects synergies with other ENI CBC MED projects e-platform active in blue and green economy.
