Résumé
The Massire Project (2019–2024) was a research-for-development project implemented by a consortium of research and education institutions from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and France. It was funded by IFAD, with a financial contribution of project academic partners. The project aimed to strengthen agricultural and rural innovation systems in the oases and arid zones of Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. Addressing challenges such as resource vulnerability, biodiversity loss, and social inequalities, the project facilitated sustainable development pathways through innovative, participatory, and inclusive approaches.
