Co-facilitation approach

Context/Program overview:

The NDI Political Party Program aims to support Tunisian political parties to develop and strengthen their regional and local structures’ capacities to include citizens in their political work; and improve internal and external communication and coordination within the party itself and with the citizens.

The main objectives of the NDI Political Party Program are:

1. A) Support political parties to help them develop coherent decentralized systems in which local branches play a vital role in addressing citizens’ concerns in the process of policy formulation and implementation.
2. B) Strengthen the capacity of parties to establish clear channels of communication that will empower their elected representatives at national, regional and local levels with respect to their promises to party members, supporters and voters.

Objectives: 

Under NDI’s political parties program, after collecting data on the specific issues/problems the citizens identified as crucial for the community, the local partners developed responsive policy papers.

Then, with national support, (and in partnership with local CSOs) the branches would advocate in front of the municipal council for the policy solutions and develop a governance action plan. 

To attend those objectives, NDI will provide a training session on Leadership and accountability mechanisms for the parties’ leaders and municipal councilors.
