Strengthening ties with Algeria
2 November, 2009 - 6 November, 2009
Algiers, Algeria
A mission to Algiers is planned for next week to discuss and enhance the GM’s overall cooperation programme with Algeria. Meetings will be held with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and its General Forestry Directorate - as the UNCCD National Focal Point, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and other stakeholders in UNCCD implementation.
On the initiative and within the framework of SolArid - the GM’s South-to-South Cooperation Programme - discussions will focus on Algeria’s cooperation with neighbouring countries, in particular with Mali, regarding the development of integrated rural development programmes through experience exchange, sharing of methodologies and financial support. These activities, promoted and supported by GM/SolArid, are also part of a wider vision which aims to provide a solid contribution to the Great Green Wall Programme initiated by the African Union.
Discussions will also hinge on how the GM can facilitate technology transfer within the Maghreb Union and within the framework of North Africa’s Sub-regional Action Programme (SRAP).
