InnovAgroWoMed Capitalization Report

The objective of this document is to retrace the life of the InnovAgroWoMed project, the identification of managerial situations, the strategy and management of communication, the process and approaches of the training and coaching programme launched by the project in its 4 partner countries, the launch and the implementation of the sub-grant, the expertise and involvement of Human Resources, etc. The aim is to build up, in the long term, a bank of good practices that can be adapted on a case-by-case basis to the different types of future projects of the ENI CBC Med Programme or any other similar programme.

Training to empower: designing a new skills set for women-led social innovation in agri-food

The aim of this document is to homogeneously present the research activities and the development of the new training models carried out by all research units. To do so, the report is organized as follows:
The first chapter illustrates the research framework and methodologies employed, and describes the research guidelines defined by the coordinating unit, University of Rome Tor Vergata.
Then, four country specific chapters (2-5) report the activities carried out in each region: the first one presents the work performed by CESIE team (Sicily-Italy), the second one by ASALA team (Palestine), the third one by JOVESÓLIDES team (Valencia-Spain) and the last one by CAWTAR team (Tunisia). The first section of each partners’ chapter provides an overview of the team and the local context where the project was implemented, then the aim is to resume relevant information achieved through the desk research, related to the local context features and the existing training programs concerning the agri-food in the specific region.
Then, a section dedicated to the field research presents a list of the stakeholders engaged, underlying what is their expected contribution to the project, in a direct or indirect way, also in terms of post-training employability; in the same section the value chains and products selected by each unit are explained.
Section 3 of each chapter is dedicated to the local training needs, seen as skills and competences required by the job market and the entrepreneurial context, identifying a gap that will be filled through the provision of the training course.
The last section introduces the training model realized on the basis of local training needs retraced, divided in cross-cutting and sectorial topics. The training course will be as unified as possible, even if each unit decides how to differentiate training contents, especially through the definition of two different profiles identified as
agent for creation and agent for transition.
Chapter 6 concludes, providing an overview of the training curricula developed by each partner.

Glass-bottom Boats Tourism Data Collection in Aqaba - final report

The MED4EBM Project introduces an innovative approach to Integrated Coastal Zone Management across four target areas: Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, and Italy. In Jordan, the project identified fisheries and sustainable coastal tourism as priority management issues. This research deliverable focuses on the glass-bottom boat tourism sector in Aqaba, Jordan—a significant contributor to the region's tourism industry and livelihoods of around 200 families. Aqaba Touristic Boats Society, established in June 1994, actively engaged in field data collection for the first time, appointing a specialist and three assistants to gather insights on this traditional and culturally valuable craft. The dataset includes key metrics such as gasoline usage, travel distance, revenue, and visitor demographics, offering valuable insights into the operational aspects and popularity of glass-bottom boat tours in Aqaba. This analysis serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding the dynamics of this eco-friendly tourism activity, its economic impact, and the need for sustainable management practices to preserve Aqaba's rich marine heritage and support its vibrant tourism sector.

Fisheries Management Data Analysis Deliverable

The fourth consultancy deliverable of the MED4EBM project presents a comprehensive analysis of fish catch data and associated fishing operations in the coastal zone of Aqaba, Jordan. Conducted between 28th August and 28th September 2023, this analysis focuses on key metrics such as fish counts (Kg), number of fishing trips, total catch (Kg), petrol consumption (JD), and fishing value (JD) across various locations including ACT, OPS, OPLB, HB, and OPM. The data reveals dynamic patterns in fishing efforts and returns, with notable fluctuations during specific periods and distinct trends across different fishing sites. Swordfish emerges as the dominant species, while other species display varying success rates. "ACT" consistently excels in fish count (Kg) and fishing trips, with "OPM" showing higher trends, indicating their potential attractiveness to fishermen. This analysis underscores the importance of careful fisheries management in the Jordanian coastal area, encompassing approximately 27KM with restricted fishing zones. It sets the groundwork for long-term, reliable data gathering, involving the fishing community directly to sustain their livelihoods and preserve the cultural heritage of traditional fishing practices while ensuring the viability of fisheries and regenerative fishing stocks in the region.


MED4EBM Data Gathering Campaign - Aqaba Diving Associations

This deliverable encompasses a comprehensive study conducted in collaboration with ten partner diving clubs, focusing on diving-related activities and reef check surveys across selected diving sites. The study aims to quantify visitation frequency, map diving loads, and provide daily environmental conditions at the sites. Additionally, it includes detailed Reef Check monitoring and descriptions of diving site attractions, facilities, and environmental stressors. The study's results are presented in this report, with detailed data provided in separate excel files for further analysis.

MED4EBM Training on Fisheries Ecosystem Based Management Tunisia

The Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries Training conducted in the Kneiss Islands region aimed to equip participants with methodologies and management tools essential for sustainable exploitation of target species and the overall ecosystem. Given that fishing is the primary economic activity in this region, the training emphasized the importance of implementing sustainable practices. Participants were introduced to different definitions of the Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries (EAF) and gained insights into the significance of the human dimension and information systems in effective fisheries management. This training serves as a crucial step towards enhancing sustainable fishing practices and ecosystem conservation in the Kneiss Islands region, aligning with the project's objectives to promote responsible fisheries management.

Coastal and Marine Ecosystem Monitoring Workshop in Tyre, Lebanon

The Coastal and Marine Ecosystem Monitoring Workshop held in Tyre, Lebanon, aimed to foster synergy among various projects, stakeholders, and management entities involved in coastal and marine ecosystem resource management. The workshop focused on identifying priorities and potential collaborations for the coordinated delivery of training and capacity-building initiatives. Through stakeholder consultations, the workshop derived objectives, monitoring indicators, and training needs to establish a community-driven, long-term environmental monitoring program for coastal habitats. The initiative's overarching goal is to enhance sustainability by integrating coastal environmental monitoring into the interests of local communities and competent management entities. This workshop serves as a pivotal step towards regularizing coastal environmental monitoring as a common practice, ensuring its continuation and effectiveness in preserving Lebanon's coastal ecosystems.
