Mediterranean Biodiversity Protection tools catalogue in Arabic
In the framework of the Project PANACeA, the MED Biodiversity Protection Community built the present Catalogue of tools for biodiversity protection in Mediterranean MPAs, covering different needs and requirements for ecosystem-based management. This Catalogue is an update and extension of a previous report developed in the context of PANACeA, which included a preliminary version of some of the tools for ecosystem-based management in the Mediterranean, being developed by the Biodiversity Protection Community projects during the year 2018.
The tools included in this version of the Catalogue updated in 2022 are classified into several types: monitoring tools; management tools; geospatial tools; financial tools and other tools.
The tools catalogue is available in Arabic, English, French and Spanish.

Effective conservation of coastal habitats across the Mediterranean
A previous study within the ENSERES project showed that whereas PAs proved to be an effective tool to reduce land development along Mediterranean coastal areas, the ICZM Protocol had had no effect in doing so. This study aims to delve into those results by ascertaining the views of a range of relevant national and regional stakeholders on the
conservation status of Mediterranean coastal areas and the factors that most and least contribute to it.

DEVELOPMENT OF MULTI-CULTURAL, SOLIDARITY BASED SOCIAL-CARE MODEL AND TOOLS
This activity represented the second step to carry out the Action Plan. After having analysed "Understand and listen to the community", we identified the objectives that are to be achieved through a planning of an action oriented to values and missions that guides the development of work in the community that has been determined. The methodology used to structure our Action Plan was based on VMOSA: Vision, Mission, Objectives, Strategies, and Action Plans. The VMOSA is a practical planning process that is used to help community groups define a vision and develop practical ways to implement change.
VMOSA helped the organisation set and achieve short-term goals while maintaining a long-term vision. The implementation of this planning process in the efforts of your group supported the development of a clear mission, the creation of consensus and the establishment of community dreams.
TEC-MED model
The TEC-MED project aimed to develop and pilot a socio-ethic and cross-cultural care model in 6 countries from the Mediterranean basin (Spain, Greece, Italy, Egypt, Lebanon, and Tunisia). As a results of the formative research carried out in the work package 3, the state of the art, which consists in three activities: analysis of the 20 most promising initiatives in Europe and the Mediterranean basin aimed to the social care of elderly, analysis of the current social care systems in the countries participants though semiestructured interviews and SWOT analysis, a gap analysis through a Delphi study, and, finaly the TEC-MED model development and validation with experts in several meetings. The TEC-MED model is an integrative person-cented model of care for dependent and/or at risk of exclusion elderly people. It has six dimensions (subject of care, social and health providers, environment and system of care, technology, financing and governance), 5 key concepts (quality, research and dissemination, ethic, gender, social inclusion, transculturality), at the three level of management (micro, meso y macro level). The operationalization of the TEC-MED model could be a catalyst to promote quality services based on a socio-ethical and cross-cultural model for the elderly in the Mediterranean basin.
STATE OF THE ART – ANALYSIS AND CROSS-CULTURAL MODEL DEFINITION (WP3)
The WP3 “State of the art” was aimed to develop the foundation of the TEC-MED Model. It was composed of 3 activities sequenced over time. These activities were linked together, so that the result of the first activity allowed the development of the second and the third one. A.3.1.1. consisted in an integrative literature review in order to: 1) Analyze case studies about the most promising social care initiatives in Europe and the Mediterranean basin to elderly people with dependence and risk of social exclusion, and 2) analyze the social care models in the participants countries. A state of the art was developed and a checklists and semi-structured interview guide, in different languages, to be use in the next activity. A.3.1.2. consisted in the development of qualitative research based on semi-structured interviews and focus groups. With the results of these interviews and analyzing the background with the previous literature review a SWOT analysis to diagnosis the Social Care Practices in the participant countries was developed (Egypt, Greece, Lebanon, Spain and Tunisia). Finally, in A.3.1.3, first, a consultation online technical Delphi panel was developed with expert from the participants countries. With all the previous information, the TEC-MED model, and them validated with expert in an international online workshop. Thanks to a deep literature review and to the consultation with 207 stakeholders related with vulnerable elderly population at micro, macro y mesolevel, as well as final beneficiaries.
