Annual Program Statement – Ma3an Project عودة إلى الفرص

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is funding the five-year (September 2018 – August 2023) Ma3an project, implemented by FHI 360, which works with 33 communities in 15 governorates across Tunisia.

USAID Ma3an’s program goal is to increase youth participation in civic and political life, address youth grievances, and prevent radicalization in Tunisian communities vulnerable to violent extremism.

To achieve this goal, Ma3an applies a community-driven model for preventing and countering violent extremism and seeks to advance two objectives:

Ma3an is pleased to announce the release of this Annual Program Statement (APS) to launch grant activities that will primarily focus on the 17 communities where Ma3an started working in Year 1 in the Governorates of Ariana, Tunis, El Kef, Jendouba, Kairouan, Manouba, Sidi Bouzid, Siliana, Sousse, and Zaghouan. Through this Annual Program Statement (APS), Ma3an intends to add to its existing activities and local partnerships by supporting up to 17 Tunisian-led initiatives at the community level that serve to engage individuals, informal groups, coalitions, and/or media to: advance positive youth development; increase youth civic engagement; and/or to strengthen local capacities and locally-led solutions for preventing violent extremism.
