Ma3an (Tunisia Resilience and Community Empowerment project):

Ma3an (“Together” in Arabic) is a five-year (September 2018 – August 2023), $48.5 million USAID project that engages some of Tunisia’s most vulnerable communities as the engines of their own transformation. Ma3an will work with 33 communities in 15 governorates across Tunisia. The project’s goal — to increase capacity of communities to withstand political, social, and economic stresses and shocks — is supported by three interrelated objectives:

• Objective 1:   Community resilience is strengthened.
• Objective 2:   Tunisian capabilities to prevent and counter violent extremism are enhanced.
• Objective 3:   Build capacity of Tunisian partners to sustain and replicate the model.

Background on Solutions to VE Dialogues (SOLVE):

Under Objective 2, desk research will inform Ma3an’s selection of four Phase 2 communities that are most directly affected by VE (e.g., Sidi Abdelhamid, Sijoumi, Hraira, Kairouan North). In collaboration with the CT Commission’s local representatives and select local partners, Ma3an will then:

• Conduct desk research and key informant interviews to update our understanding of the VE drivers and dynamics in these communities and produce a Community VE Dynamics Snapshot.
• Ma3an and local partners will conduct a rapid stakeholder mapping activity to identify up to 30 local actors active in P/CVE in each community, including individuals working in relevant governmental structures (e.g., the Centre de Défense et d’Intégration Sociale [CDIS]), CSOs, and youth-led grassroots organizations, and individuals active in influencing youth, such as artists, bloggers, and YouTubers.
• Ma3an will convene a Solutions to VE (SOLVE) Dialogue with stakeholders identified during the mapping activity to validate the Community VE Dynamics Snapshot, add to it any existing or planned efforts, and develop three priority mitigation actions to directly address identified VE dynamics and drivers.
• Ma3an will then fund up to three VE mitigation activities in each of the four Phase 2 communities.
• Following, Ma3an will coordinate with the CT commission local representative and the local partner to develop a methodology to continually update the Community VE Dynamics Snapshot. Ma3n will also coordinate with local stakeholders when additional responses to VE are needed.
• SOLVE Dialogues may also be held later in Year 3 in up to six of the Phase 3 communities.

This consultancy will support the development of the Solutions to VE (SOLVE) Dialogues. This will include developing a detailed SOLVE Dialogue facilitation guide and accompanying materials, conducting a Training of Trainers for up to 8 SOLVE Dialogue facilitators, and possibly co-facilitating one or more of the four Phase 2 SOLVE Dialogues.
