The Better Air Quality workshop for North African cities was held on 23-25 November 2009 in Tunis, Tunisia. The workshop was organised by the Sahara and Sahel Observatory (OSS) in collaboration with the Ministry of Environmental and Sustainable Development, Tunisia, UNEP IUAPPA, and SEI with support from the other GAP Forum partners. Six countries - Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Egypt, and Mauritania - and three observer countries from the Middle East (Jordan, Lebanon and Yemen) attended the workshop. Top policy government experts, academia and civil society experts discussed air pollution issues in the sub-region and developed concrete recommendations that will be presented to ministers for adoption into a North African Air Pollution Framework agreement in early 2010.
