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.
MEDWAYCAP Interactive map
A 3D interactive map showing the territorial coverage of the good practices developed by the different projects that have worked in synergy during MEDWAYCAP. The map provides collaborative and interactive learning opportunities, offering a dynamic and engaging way to learn about the solutions developed in the different Mediterranean countries. This map is the result of a joint effort of all partners, who shared their best practices by telling their stories using the storytelling method. Have a look at the map on the homepage of the MENAWARA project.
MEDWAYCAP Memorandum of Understanding
An alliance for a long-term capitalisation strategy at Mediterranean level to improve non-conventional water supply, management and reuse, formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding signed by the project partners and associated partners, as part of a broader capitalisation strategy. The parties to the Memorandum agreed to develop and implement an advocacy strategy and to set measurable milestones to assess the relevance of their joint initiative to the main outcomes sought.
MEDWAYCAP BPs’ Inventory Platform
An open and dynamic resource that plays a crucial role in sharing knowledge and supporting decision-making. With 21 best practices from 9 Mediterranean countries already evaluated and published, the platform has proven its effectiveness in analysing trends and gaps to guide policy and funding. It works as a platform, a web-based business intelligence solution, to inform and disseminate the innovative solutions and practices implemented in the Mediterranean region and beyond. The platform includes the analysis of related issues such as performance, innovation, durability, socio-economic impact, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and others.
MEDWAYCAP Innovation camp guideline
This document provides clear guidelines for developing the goal-oriented MEDWAYCAP Innovation Camps and future sustainable multilevel meetings. It supports the MEDWAYCAP experts in the
identification of thematic challenges, challenge owners and the related stakeholders by capitalizing the
best existing methodology for innovative and creative participatory approaches.
The guidelines describe how the MEDWAYCAP Innovation Camps integrate design thinking
principles in the project to address its general and specific objectives of defining a Mediterranean pathway
for Innovation Capitalisation toward an urban-rural integrated development of Non-Conventional Water
Resources.
MEDWAYCAP Itinerant Exhibition
A travelling exhibition of posters and small models realised to tell the story of proposals for managing non-conventional water resources, bringing technical solutions directly to the people. The heart of the exhibition is a collection of case studies and methodologies on the reuse of treated wastewater. Thirteen projects told through an original and sustainable apparatus. The main objective of the exhibition is to facilitate access to and the promotion of good practices in unconventional forms, taking into account the user experience.
