ACTED opened its offices in Tunisia in 2011, initially to manage the response to the Libyan crisis, and then rapidly expanded in Tunisia through the creation of partnerships with local organizations. ACTED has first built a local presence through its partner in Tunisia, We Love Sousse. Together, ACTED and WLS have developed projects that value and strengthen the capacity of young people to become actors of change. ACTED has been providing technical support to WLS since 2019 in order to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable youth and women to violent extremism
