As part of the recommendations issued during the meeting, the commission called for the immediate resumption of construction work on the Class B Regional Hospital of Sbeïtla, in the governorate of Kasserine, following the selection of a contractor who is expected to complete the project before the end of this year.
Likewise, the commission recommended advancing the National School of Engineers of Bizerte project, by selecting a public works company to complete the construction by the first quarter of 2026.
The commission also called for the initiation of procedures to launch a call for tenders for the construction of the deep-water port and the associated logistics services zone in Enfidha, in accordance with international standards.
