The 193 individual country profiles capture the status and progress of all UN Member States, and the 80+ indicators include a wealth of information on child, adolescent and adult anthropometry and nutritional status, in addition to intervention coverage, food supply, economics, and demography. This tool is particularly useful for nutrition champions at the country-level, as it presents a wide range of evidence needed to assess country progress in improving nutrition and nutrition-related outcomes.

Between February and May 2008, 'hunger riots' erupted in the South - particularly in African countries such as Senegal, Burkina Faso, Mozambique, Egypt, Algeria, the Ivory Coast, Mauritania, Madagascar and Cameroon. The riots have provided a clear warning that populations can no longer face the increasing prices of basic food products - such as rice, groundnut oil, potatoes and corn.

Overall objective of this project is to design a national energy efficiency cap and trade mechanism, shaped on the institutional, legal and business frameworks of Algeria and Tunisia.

Background

In northern African countries such as Algeria and Tunisia there are currently no particular incentives or obligations for energy utilities or end consumers to save energy or to achieve specific energy saving targets.

Purpose

To design national energy efficiency cap and trade mechanism shaped on the institutional legal and business frameworks of Algeria and Tunisia.
