UN agencies and LAS reviewed the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and identified the key elements of a Regional Strategy for its implementation

As part of its mandate to promote human development and democratic transition in the region, UN ESCWA launched the National Agenda for the Future of Syria (NAFS) Programme in 2012 to engage Syrian experts and stakeholders in developing policy alternatives for Syria in preparation for a post-agreement phase.

Within the framework of the “Regional Initiative for Promoting Small-Scale Renewable Energy Applications in Rural Areas of the Arab Region (REGEND)” project, the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (ESCWA), in partnership with the General Commission for Regional Development (CGDR) and the National Agency for Energy Conservation (ANME) in Tunisia, is organizing a capacity-building workshop of rural women on cattle breeding.
 
This workshop aims to enable rural women in Chorbane, Governorate of Mahdia, Tunisia to acquire skills in the field of cattle breeding, especially the basic principles of feeding and improving production. The workshop will also enable building and strengthening the theoretical and practical capacities of a group of rural women in the field of forage agriculture which can be locally produced in order to achieve an important nutritional balance for the herd.
