Rural Poverty Highlights in El Kef
The final national workshop for evaluating the strategy and program of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) in Tunisia presented a report revealing a significant deterioration in poverty and rural development conditions, especially in the interior regions of Kasserine Governorate. Data shows that three municipalities in the area—Hassi El Fidar, Jedlian, and El Eulou—have poverty rates exceeding 50%, with Hassi El Fidar reaching a poverty level of 53.5%. The report also highlighted multiple challenges facing the central-western regions, including a lack of investment, water scarcity, and repeated drought years. These issues hinder agricultural growth and drive rural populations to migrate to cities. This assessment comes at a time when Tunisia is preparing to continue its cooperation with the Fund, with a focus on improving access to development programs for the most vulnerable groups, especially in light of the increasing impact of water scarcity on agricultural activities and the rising costs of irrigation.
