Geopolitical/SBU/Function overview:

The EU (European Union) €6m “Programme to Support the Strengthening of Tunisia’s Cultural Sector” aims to support the redefinition of the Tunisian cultural policy and the restructuring of the cultural sector, in the context of Tunisia’s democratic transition.

The Tfanen project is implemented through a PAGoDA Contract (€4m) led by the British Council on behalf of/in partnership with EUNIC which was branded as ‘Tfanen Tunisie Creative’. The project specifically aims to stimulate a local collaborative approach in the view of supporting the creation of a social and cultural ecosystem, inclusive for all groups of the society. The project will aim to 1) Promote cultural diversity and access to culture in Tunisia, targeting in particular vulnerable populations; and 2) Support the freedom of expression and creation, increased international exposure and knowledge-sharing.
