U-SOLVE - Urban Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Roadmap

This report presents the main results of analyzing the Urban Entrepreneurial Ecosystem (EE) across project
partners, relying on a unique U-SOLVE approach. The analysis relied on secondary data from prior studies and
reports investigating the same issue in each country and primary data collected from ecosystem actors
representing academia, business actors, business support organizations, and NGOs.

Capitalization Plan

FISH MED NET Capitalization Plan is the guiding document to disseminate the final results and outputs of the project and to capitalize them in order to promote debates and advocacy actions at both regional and Euro-Mediterranean level. The plan provides a comprehensive overview of the capitalization strategy, as well as a roadmap to carry out capitalization actions to be implementedby all project partners. FISH MED NET capitalisation is aimed at consolidating the capital built by the project, with the objectives of making the knowledge and results generated by the project more accessible, improving transfer of knowledge to a wider audience of target groups at Euro-Mediterranean level.
Creating synergies and cooperation with key stakeholders, organizations and projects at EuroMediterranean level, building on existing knowledge and experiences. Within the Capitalization plan, FISH MED NET developed a common brouchure coming from the event, the Blue growth Symposium held in Beirut with the aim to develop joint strategies and initiatives to strengthen alliances, synergies and capitalization strategies between ENI CBC Med projects and other stakeholders in the Blue Economy in the Mediterranean.

Standard Packages for Public Private Partnerships Agreement

FISH MED NET involves public and private partner organizations from France, Italy, Tunisia, Lebanon and Palestine. The project aimed to develop Mediterranean Alliances between the enterprises active in the Blue economy following the diversification of artisanal fishing, and to develop public authorities' capacity to encourage sustainable development of the fishing sector. Following the analysis “Mapping of the needs of the Public Authorities related to fishery activities and support schemes in place”, as well as the results of the rounds tables held in all partner countries that have engaged both public and private stakeholders from the fishery sector, the Ministry of Agriculture of Lebanon, in cooperation with all partners, has produced some standard packages including procedures and formats that might be useful to develop Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs).
According to the different national contexts, norms and legislations, the typologies of potential PPPs could change and vary from country to country. Also considering the differences between the fishery sectors in the involved countries at economic, social and legislative level, there is a certain level of heterogeneity within these countries. So that, it must be noted that the standard packages should be always adapted to the country’s characteristics and norms, and must not in any way be used as a substitute for specific legal advice. The following standard packages are identified on the basis of existing practices of Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) in each target territory, and includes: 1. The concession agreement; 2. The memorandum of understanding; 3.Community-led local development initiatives; 4.The service agreement.

Effective conservation of coastal habitats across the Mediterranean

A previous study within the ENSERES project showed that whereas PAs proved to be an effective tool to reduce land development along Mediterranean coastal areas, the ICZM Protocol had had no effect in doing so. This study aims to delve into those results by ascertaining the views of a range of relevant national and regional stakeholders on the
conservation status of Mediterranean coastal areas and the factors that most and least contribute to it.

Mediterranean Biodiversity Protection tools catalogue

In the framework of the Project PANACeA, the MED Biodiversity Protection Community built the present Catalogue of tools for biodiversity protection in Mediterranean MPAs, covering different needs and requirements for ecosystem-based management. This Catalogue is an update and extension of a previous report developed in the context of PANACeA, which included a preliminary version of some of the tools for ecosystem-based management in
the Mediterranean, being developed by the Biodiversity Protection Community projects during the year 2018.
The tools included in this version of the Catalogue updated in 2022 are classified into several types: monitoring tools; management tools; geospatial tools; financial tools and other tools.
The tools catalogue is available in Arabic, English, French and Spanish.

NEW ENTREPRENEURIAL START-UP IDEAS

U-SOLVE was able to attract as many innovative ideas as possible and to maximize the impact of foreseen capacity building activities. Following this methodology, calls for applicants have been issued for both steps, including guidelines, templates, model contract and evaluation criteria.

Guide for clusters resetting to cross-border cooperation and access to financing tools

The guide aims to give an overview of the collaborative models developed in the framework of the CARISMED project, as well as to identify best practices from each participating city. The structure of the guide includes guidelines for implementing training programs for CCI innovative SMEs, clusters resetting for internal cooperation and external cross-border cooperation best practices.
The training programs in each participating cities have been developed basing on the research activities carried out within WP4. This section of the Guide summarizes this experience
according to the SMEs specific needs in terms of training: Tailor-made programs, based on a solid need analysis, local-based, as each CCI fabric has its specificities, experiential learning approach, and concise programs.
