Welcome

OPA Gafsa collaborative platform

This platform was held following the signing of the financing contract for the collaborative project between the Southern Development Office (ODS) and the Gafsa Competitiveness Cluster (PCG) as part of the implementation of the Regional Initiative for Supporting Sustainable Economic Development Program “IRADA”. This collaborative project aims to contribute to the development of the regional economy by improving the competitiveness and added value of the “Pistachio” value chain in the Gafsa region. A grant of more than 1.6 million dinars, financed by the European Union, was awarded for the implementation of this collaborative project, which aims to strengthen the private sector and employability through the development of the “Pistachio” sector in the Gafsa region.

The platform will focus on:

The structuring of Professional Agricultural Organizations (OPA) and the grouping of stakeholders and actors involved around a multi-actor collaborative platform.

Improving cultivation techniques to improve pistachio production in quantity and quality.

The valorization of pistachios and their derivatives and to ensure their marketing on the National and International markets.

To achieve these objectives, the platform will strive to organize regular meetings between multi-stakeholders in order to:

  • Evaluate your work and monitor your activities.
  • raise sector issues and seek solutions
  • Establish platform development mechanisms

This platform can be activated through modern means of communication such as Messenger, WhatsApp, smartphones and traditional phones.
