DESCRIPTION
FHI 360 is currently implementing three multiyear projects in Tunisia :
- Ma3an : Through the Ma3an project, FHI 360 is working to strengthen resilience in 30 Tunisian communities. The project works to engage marginalized youth, identify and reduce community-specific vulnerabilities, and catalyze and harness public- and private-sector resources to create a lasting foundation for social cohesion and resilience. FHI 360 uses a community resilience process to increase the capacity of communities to withstand political, social or economic stresses and shocks. The process begins with youth-led mapping of community opportunities and challenges. The youth mappers then present their findings and priorities at collaborative stakeholder action-planning workshops and work with a cross-section of community stakeholders to develop activities that address the prioritized needs. These activities strengthen collaboration among community members while also addressing community and youth development needs.
- Collaborative Action for Handicraft Exports (ACEA) project in Tunisia, funded by the U.S. the Department of State. In partnership with the National Office of Handicrafts (ONAT), the goal of this project is to foster a more competitive handicraft value chain in Tunisia, leading to long-term sustainable economic growth, increased exports, and increased employment. This goal would be achieved through technical assistance to two handicrafts value chains, including the initiatives of two clusters. A first phase supported the “Natural extracts” value chain in the Northwest of Tunisia and the Olive Wood value chain in Sfax and Sidi Bouzid. While expanding support to these value chains the project will begin supporting three additional value chains in 2021.
