The Gabal Asfar Wastewater Treatment Plant Stage III Contract inherited from multiple actions, related to: The Gabal Asfar Wastewater Treatment Plant Stage III - The Neighbourhood Investment Platform (NIP) is a blending facility, combining European Union grant contributions or financial instruments, with other public and private sector resources such as loans and equity in order to leverage additional non-grant financing. It forms part of the European Fund for Sustainable Development Plus (EFSD+) as foreseen in Article 32 of the NDICI ¿ Global Europe Regulation.The key objective of the NIP is, within the framework of the NDICI ¿ Global Europe Regulation, the EuroMed partnership and the Eastern Partnership, to contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), creating sustainable jobs and infrastructures, and addressing some root causes of migration.To achieve this objective, vital capital investments must be made to rehabilitate, modernise or build essential infrastructures needed for safe and efficient transport of goods and people; enhance food security and resilience to shocks; safe production, transport and consumption of energy; effective environmental protection (in particular to ensure the quality of air, water and soil); sustainable waste management; climate change-related issues, and digital transformation of societies. In addition, capital is need for the provision of basic social services such as health and education; as well as economic growth through the support to private sector development, in particular micro, small, and medium size enterprises (MSMEs).***The NIP Financing Decision provides financial contributions to regional and bilateral projects. For bilateral projects in some countries in the Southern Neighbourhood (Morocco and Tunisia), each NIP contribution agreement is preceded by the signature of a Financing Agreement with the partner country. This ¿courtesy¿ practice is in place for many years, probably as a means for the partner country to ensure its comprehensive view/knowledge of all cooperation projects implemented by the donor community in the country. It also increases the degree of country¿s ownership. DG NEAR therefore manages NIP Financing Decisions with GN and GF commitments.The rather unstable and unpredictable political situation in the Southern Neighbourhood region however imposes some flexibility in the way of committing NIP funding. Indeed, we face cases where budgetary envelopes initially earmarked for projects in a specific country must promptly be reoriented towards other projects in more stable countries (also taking into account the ¿N+1¿ rule). We therefore request the NIP 2023 Financing Decision to be encoded in OPSYS and approved as entailing GN commitments only, with a derogation that could later on allow for some GF commitments to be signed (for projects in countries that require Financing Agreements).

Support to Tunisia's maritime border managemen Contract related to: Support to Tunisia's maritime border managemen - This Action is part of the Multi-Country Migration Programme for the Southern Neighbourhood 2021-2027 adopted in November 20221. It is building on actions already adopted in 2021 and 2022 to further support the comprehensive approach to migration governance as set out in the Joint Valletta Action Plan, the EU Pact for Asylum and Migration, the New Agenda for the Mediterranean, and the Action Plan for the Central Mediterranean.The developments of the past years ¿ including political and economic instability, conflicts, growing socio-economic inequalities, increased urbanisation, demographic transition, and climate change alongside environmental degradation ¿ have strongly influenced migration patterns to the region and from the region to Europe, leading to an increasing number of people leaving North African countries and reaching European shores risking their life. While the number of arrivals on the Western Mediterranean route have significantly decreased compared to 2022, on the Central Mediterranean route, the total number of arrivals in 2023, as of 7 May, is 279% higher than for the same period in 2022. According to IOM, in 2023 so far, 441 persons have been reported dead or missing while crossing the Central Mediterranean. Throughout 2022, 1 377 people were reported as dead or missing.The present Action aims at addressing the challenges and needs identified in the various areas related to migration management in close cooperation and coordination with partner countries and implementing agencies present in the countries of North Africa and the result of activities that have been implemented to date. The key issues and activities proposed in the main areas of support in this Action are the following: human rights-based migration governance, including fight against smuggling of migrants and trafficking in human beings (objective 1), assisted voluntary returns and reintegration (objective 2) as well as protection, resilience, and social cohesion (objective 3).This Action supports a comprehensive approach to migration management which includes an enhanced level of protection of migrants and migrants at risk, by enabling migrants who want to return to their countries of origin to do so and by supporting countries in developing a return mechanism to ensure ownership of this component of migration governance. In addition, the Action will support partner countries in reducing irregular migration and fighting trafficking of human beings and smuggling of migrants.
