Partnership for Technical Skills Development
of Youth in Tunisia
Partnership with GAME under the Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship Programme 2024-2027
Website: www.game.ngo
The Danish-Arab Partnership Programme (DAPP) has been an important instrument
in Denmark’s foreign policy in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) since its establishment in 2003. The current phase of DAPP builds on the positive experiences
of the past and focuses on employment and human rights, supporting Danish policy priorities lives in the MENA region, and as such youth are the main target group.
The DAPP vision is to contribute to building a better life for young people in the MENA region, including a particular focus on youth in Tunisia. Every young person is entitled to a decent and meaningful job and the chance to participate as an active member
in society. The aim of DAPP is to build on the stepping-stones towards achieving these conditions. Within DAPP, the Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship (YEE) Programme aims to increase the number of young people with jobs in Tunisia through entrepreneurship and enterprise development, supporting pathways
for transformational change based on a solid understand of job creation for youth.
Tunisia’s youth unemployment rate is ranked as one of the MENA region’s highest rates, representing 38.5% in the first quarter of 2022. The unemployment rate among youth with a university degree is 30%. A high rate which is partly due to the gap between labour supply and demand, the mismatch between skills and labour market needs, lack of career orientation, a rigid labour market, and cultural assumptions about self-employment and entrepreneurship. Despite the high level of youth graduating, Tunisian companies cannot find qualified job candidates due to the skills mismatch. Youth lack market-relevant technical and digital skills and general access to market-relevant TVET.
GAME, one of four consortium partners within the YEE programme, is seeking a new partner to support the implementation of its activities in Tunisia, and in particular through technical skills development for capacity building and increased employability. The partnership is expected to span from Q4 2024 until June 2027.
This Programme is funded by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
With reference to the YEE Programme Tunisia Results Framework, GAME aims
to enhance the number of young people benefitting from market responsive, technical skills development, including on-the-job training. Over the coming project period 2024-2027, GAME’s partner will be responsible for supporting 840 youth with technical skills development, matching market relevant needs and demands.
Falling under Output 2 of the overall Programme Results Framework, the expected deliverables should address issues such as the lack of market-relevant technical and digital skills, a lack of access to technical and vocationally oriented training and the lack of soft skills and knowledge of labour market opportunities. It will involve the following activities:
The above activities will directly contribute to the following output indicators:
Output Stream 2: Young people, in particular women, have market-responsive technical skills, knowledge of finding employment, and greater access to the labour market | ||
Indicator O2.1:
TECHNICAL SKILLS DEVELOPMENT: Number of young people benefitting from market responsive, technical skills development, including on-the-job training |

Target per year:
2024: 200 |
Indicator O2.2:
LABOUR MARKET LINKAGE: Number of young people who have been matched with employment opportunities |
The indicator refers to the total number of youth who have been matched with an employment opportunity, the young people’s profile needs to fit/align with the requirements defined by the employer. The match does not have to result in employment, however, we hope you encourage the youth to apply! |
Target per year:
2024: 200 |
Indicator O2.3:
EMPLOYABILITY LINKAGE: Number of young people who are matched with on-the-job training (ie apprenticeships, internships) |
The indicator refers to the total number of youth who have been matched with on-job training opportunities. The youth’s profile needs to fit/align with the requirements as defined by the on-the-job training company/business etc. The match does not have to result in employment, however, we hope you encourage the youth to apply! |

Target per year:
2024: 50 |
A fundamental aspect of GAME’s approach is our commitment to youth centred programming, meaning that we work both FOR and WITH youth. We firmly believe
in the power and agency of young people, that they can take leadership, articulate their needs and push for transformational changes. A youth-centred approach releasing the potential of young people is essential to achieve the project’s objectives.
Target Group
The target group for the YEE projects is youth aged 15 – 35, from 24 Governorates in Tunisia, reaching 840 youth over the project period (2024-2027). This includes targeting both disengaged youth and employment seekers.
Disengaged youth are those in need of motivational support, life skills, networks, guidance and information to set them on a realistic path towards employment/self-employment. Employment seekers are those young people in search of employment opportunities with limited exposure to the labour market and may lack the necessary skills that match employer’s needs. This group needs support and guidance
to transition to employment and for market-relevant skills.
GAME has already engaged two local partners under the YEE Programme and is seeking a third partner. Partners need to meet the following key partnership criteria:
For b) and c) potential capacity-building applies.
Initial selection of a partner will be followed by due diligence, especially
for engagements with private sector actors, as well as participatory capacity assessments, including power and stakeholder analyses, which will help identify capacity-building needs and inform the development of tailored support for each partner.
Our partnership approach builds on a key principle of localisation, complementarity
and strategic partner selection, and a strong commitment to capacity-building and mutual learning.
GAME is seeking to engage local partners effectively and meaningfully through
a participatory partnership process that creates strong local ownership.
2024 is considered a trial period. The collaboration for the following years will depend on the results of 2024 and the partner’s capabilities. The expected annual budgets are approximately as mentioned below, but they are subject to an annual budget approval process:
Year | Budget | Number of beneficiaries per Indicator |
2024 | 26.000€ | O2.1: 200 – O2.2: 200 – O2.3: 200 – O2.4: 50 |
2025 | 35.000€ | O2.1: 320 – O2.2: 400 – O2.3: 400 – O2.4: 70 |
2026 | 35.000€ | O2.1: 320 – O2.2: 400 – O2.3: 400 – O2.4: 70 |
Unspent funds are not able to roll-over from one year to another.
It is expected that a maximum of 25% is allocated to staff and administrative costs
