During his speech, Maher Mahjoub recalled that "since its launch in 2014, PPI-OSCAN has supported 107 organisations for the implementation of projects in a wide range of areas relating to the conservation of terrestrial and marine ecosystems". He also recalled the important role of IUCN’s government members in the countries of North Africa in facilitating and supervising associative projects. Lessons learnt and resultsThe workshop, which took place from June 3 to 5, brought together organisations from the PPI-OSCAN network to share their experiences and good practices, form alliances, discuss the sustainability of their projects and reflect on the development of a network as part of the PPI-OSCAN community. On the eve of World Environment Day, participating organisations are returning home with new tools to carry out their projects for wetland conservation, sustainable management of oases and agricultural ecosystems, protection of endangered species and protected areas, restoration of degraded ecosystems and harnessing the benefits of conservation to generate sustainable income.
