Rome, January 29 – From the renewable energy training and excellence center in Morocco to the school redevelopment in Tunisia, with health initiatives in the Ivory Coast in between. In her first speech at the Italy-Africa Conference, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni outlined some of the Mattei Plan's pilot projects, emphasizing the plan's five pillars: education and training, health, water and hygiene, agriculture, energy, and infrastructure. In terms of education and training, "it is a decisive pillar," Meloni added, "because every intervention needs to generate work, which in turn needs education and training: to build bridges, roads, hospitals, skills are needed." The initial initiatives are in Morocco for a significant center of excellence for training on the issue of renewable energy, while in Tunisia "we will carry out an infrastructural redevelopment of schools, and exchanges between teachers". When it comes to health care, "the first nation we are supporting is the Ivory Coast, to improve the quality and accessibility of primary services, especially for mothers and the most vulnerable."
