FHI 360 Tunisia

Tunisia’s civil society, particularly its youth, were instrumental in the 2011 revolution in that country (also known as the Jasmine Revolution) that began a process of political, economic and social change that is still unfolding today. Tunisia, especially its young people, continues to struggle with a number of challenges, however. These include high levels of unemployment, especially among educated youth, political instability and corruption, and security threats from violent extremist groups and others.

FHI 360 partners with nongovernmental organizations, community stakeholders and cooperatives across Tunisia to define and implement solutions that are relevant and appropriate to local contexts, respond to local needs and build on community assets.

FHI 360 seeks to improve youth economic opportunities by focusing on education and skills development, trade and market access, and economic governance and social protection. This work involves conducting assessments and research that inform technical and government reform initiatives for vocational education and training and national strategies for inclusive economic growth and youth employment.
