About us
BEDER ORGANISATION
FOR CITIZENSHIP AND EQUITABLE DEVELOPMENT
BEDER Organization is a non-profit that was founded by a group of civil society activists after the revolution in January 2011.
The revolutionary spark encouraged an entire generation to rebuild an inclusive country based on the values of respect, dignity, justice and equal chances. Our organization ensures that during this transition, the values that were defended in the revolution are protected and translated into tangible, transformative and effective actions.
Our main interest is to increase and diversify the possibilities of community development in Tunisia. We work on this mission by increasing and accelerating the impact of local actors and stakeholders as well as by cultivating the leadership needed for this change and the community resilience that will sustain it.
Our organization creates the potential for improvement on a fundamental level that satisfies the needs of the Tunisian society.
