An electrical interconnection project between Italy and Tunisia, valued at €1,355.7 million, routes its line through Zaghouan. A social survey is accompanying the works among the farmers, landowners and operators of the affected land, to map out in advance the situations that need to be taken into account before construction moves forward.
Why is a social survey accompanying the project?
A call has been issued to facilitate the social survey carried out among the farmers, landowners or operators of the land affected by the route, as well as among anyone who might be affected.

This approach is meant to support, on the ground, those whose plots or activity lie along the path of the infrastructure. Facilitating this survey would make it possible to identify, in advance, the situations that need to be taken into account before construction moves forward.
Who is affected on the ground?
The project directly affects two categories of people, named by the official quoted: farmers who own or operate the affected land, and, more broadly, anyone who might be affected by the works. Their statement stressed the need to facilitate the social survey carried out among them.
This social survey is the step meant to map out these situations before the project moves forward. By stressing this facilitation, the official places local communities, landowners and operators alike, at the heart of how the matter is being followed up.
Beyond the route and the technical aspects, the social survey is a precondition for the project to move forward: it is aimed at the farmers, landowners and operators of the affected land, and at anyone who might be affected by the works.
