This policy brief analyzes the challenges facing Tunisia's municipal waste management system and proposes potential solutions for reform. It highlights issues such as inadequate infrastructure, insufficient funding, and weak governance. It suggests implementing a comprehensive waste management strategy, improving citizen participation, and strengthening regulatory enforcement to overcome these challenges and create a sustainable waste management system.

The right to land resides at the core of the agrarian question, as well as within the transformations that the rural field is being subjected to. Addressing this issue is a crucial step for Tunisia to achieve sovereign agricultural and food policy. Thus, it is important to trace the processes of land dispossession and recognize its repercussions on the rural field, food dependency and the country’s political plans to be able to put together a sustainable alternative.

This policy brief addresses protection of heritage; a national sovereign wealth that must be protected and secured for current and future generations. The sustainable protection of heritage does not only depend on the type of heritage (tangible, intangible, natural, etc.) but also specific the threats it faces. Heritage is a unique resource and its disappearance is irreversible as restoration to its original state is, in most cases, almost impossible. Therefore, is it necessary to adopt more serious policies and laws to manage these assets?
