Mr. Chouki's major goal is to improve, through the participatory approach technique, the small farmer's rangeland productivity, while protecting the Natural Resources in low rainfall areas. Drought is a current climatic feature in Tunisia that affects the agricultural sector where water and livestock feed resource shortages occur. As a Humphrey Fellow, Mr. Chouki will focus on the use of the Geographical Information System (GSI) and its application on sustainable natural resources management for integrating human resources, policy and management. He seeks to assist policy makers develop long-term strategies to mitigate drought impacts on natural resources.
