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.

This activity will include training 80 youth and adults on storytelling methods and supporting them to present their stories in showcase events in their community, including a final event open to the public.
