Tunisian Coastal Protection Program (PPLT) - Phase IV
The project Tunisian Coastal Protection Program (PPLT) - Phase IV - Technical Assistance Services for the Implementation of the Program, initiated by the Tunisian state, focuses on protecting the coastline from erosion and the impacts of climate change, while contributing to the ecological and economic rehabilitation of the coastal area. The German Financial Cooperation (FC), through KfW, supports the Tunisian government and the Agency for Protection and Development of the Coastline (APAL) in implementing this investment programme, specifically targeting projects in the water sector and coastal areas. The consortium for this project is DHI and Maritec,
The design and organisation of Phase IV of the PPLT are based on the requests from APAL and the lessons learned from Phases I-III. The objective of PPLT IV is to enhance and ecologically rehabilitate the Tunisian coastal zone, helping to protect it from the adverse effects of climate change, particularly coastal erosion.
Expected results include:
Erosion control works to stabilise the coastline
A maintenance plan to ensure the long-term sustainability of the works
Positive impacts on employment through project interventions
