Public Polling and focus group: Invitation to Submit Proposals
Background:
Promoting democratic space for marginalized communities in oil-producing areas of Tunisia is a four-year project funded by the United Nations Democracy Fund (UNDEF) and implemented by the Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI).

Through quantitative and qualitative research and technical and financial support, NRGI will establish and empower local civil society networks to engage in community and government consultations for region-specific roadmaps addressing oil-producing communities’ grievances. The networks will also be to hold the government accountable through follow-up meetings to monitor the implementation of government commitments.
