SAFEGUARDING WINTERING HABITAT FOR RUFA The northwestern coastline of Brazil hosts millions of shorebirds, having been identified as the third most important area for wintering shorebirds in South America including rufa Red Knot, Whimbrel, and Semipalmated Sandpiper. This area is also highlighted as the primary wintering area for the 'North Coast of South America' Recovery Unit of rufa Red Knot. Multiple protected areas have been designated along this coastline, but most are in management categories with the least restrictions on use (e.g. extractive reserves, environmental protection areas) and have limited active enforcement or shorebird-specific management. Furthermore, with an expanding space flight launch site, the development of new ports, and the potential installation of wind energy facilities, shrimp farms and oil exploration, it is essential to better understand and safeguard the critical habitats for shorebirds in this region. The project will compile existing data to identify, delimit, and prioritize key areas for safeguarding and enhanced management. An aerial survey with a Red Knot specific protocol and increased International Shorebird Survey monitoring will add to the existing data to better understand the current status of shorebirds in the states of Para and Maranho. With the critical sites better defined, a stakeholder engagement process will be undertaken to define existing management structures, assess threats, identify opportunities for conservation action, and make recommendations regarding integrating shorebird needs within protected area management plans.

Birds that will benefit include red knot, semipalmated sandpiper, lesser and greater yellowlegs, short-billed dowitcher, ruddy turnstone, black-bellied plover, willet, and whimbrel...
MIGRATORY BIRDS IN THE CERRADO: EDUCATIO The project's main goal is to increase the number of Brazilians who are concerned with conservation and understand the importance of conserving the Cerrado region, as well as the migratory birds that winter there. The partners plan to use two approaches: communication using literature and media (radio programs) and education through the training of teachers in the public school system to mobilize them for the conservation of these bird species and the remaining areas of the Cerrado in the region. They plan to reach different target audiences with different methodologies. For children, they will produce stories that strengthen their ties to these species of birds. For the general population, they will generate radio programs that creatively deal with these issues. Students in the public school system from 10 to18 years will be reached by the action of teachers trained with tools of art, methodological strategies and awareness. The products previewed in this project, such as books, radio programs and educational material produced by teachers, can be applied in other areas of the Cerrado in Brazil. Thus, this project can start to reverse the reduction in the availability of wintering grounds for species that depend on the Cerrado domain.

Tunisia - The Electricity Distribution Networks Rehabilitation and Restructuring Project Tunisie - Projet d’assainissement et de restructuration des réseaux de distribution d’électricité The Electricity Distribution Networks Rehabilitation and Restructuring Project is an
energy-efficiency project aimed especially at improving service quality, preserving the
environment, cutting costs and ensuring the safety of workers and third parties. It covers the
whole country. The main activities of the project area are industry, tourism, handicrafts, trading
and services. The overall project cost is estimated at TND 111.66 million (UA 52.41 million),
net of taxes. The project is designed to match Tunisia’s socio-economic development, marked by
the growth and modernization of industries and services, and the population’s enhanced
living standards (Gross National Product rose from USD 2,090/inhabitant in 2000 to USD
3,200 in 2007), which has spurred increasing demand for electricity. The electricity
consumption trend (5% annual increase) has led to the saturation of power distribution
networks, sections of which are obsolete and require urgent upgrading. The technical option
selected is network rehabilitation, modernization and upgrading. This option is the best since
there is no single substitute option for the whole project. The project comprises nearly 660
sub-projects for which alternatives have been studied. The main beneficiaries are: (i) Société Tunisienne de l’Electricité et du Gaz, STEG
(Tunisian Electricity and Gas Company), thanks to which it will have a more reliable and safer
electricity distribution network, increase the quantity of energy sold and its turnover, and
improve the safety of workers and third parties; (ii) small and medium-scale industries, the
tourism sector and resident subscribers who will benefit from better quality service, works and
supply contracts.

Tunisia – Road Safety Strategy Study Tunisie - Etude de la stratégie de la sécurité routière The study aims to develop Tunisia's institutional capacity to influence the upward trend of road accidents and associated costs. It will broaden the framework for reflection by assisting the Government of Tunisia in developing a comprehensive and multidimensional road safety strategy, from which will emerge a two-level action plan. The first actions, in the short term, will aim to slow down the number of deaths and injuries, and the following will aim at reversing durably the harmful effects of road insecurity, to halve the number of deaths on the horizon 2020. L'étude vise à développer les capacités institutionnelles de la Tunisie aux fins d'infléchir la tendance à la hausse des accidents de la route et les coûts associés. Elle élargira le cadre de réflexion en assistant le gouvernement de la Tunisie dans l'élaboration d'une stratégie globale et multidimensionnelle de la sécurité routière, de laquelle découlera un plan d'actions à deux niveaux. Les premières actions, à brève échéance, auront pour but de ralentir le nombre de décès et de blessés, et les suivantes viseront à renverser durablement les méfaits de l'insécurité routière, jusqu'à diviser par deux le nombre de décès à l'horizon 2020.
