Program / Department Summary

Mercy Corps has been active in Tunisia in July 2011, working to support youth employability and entrepreneurship opportunities, increasing civic engagement, and improving the capacities of local authorities, civil society organizations, and private sector organizations to engage in positive governance. Our goal is to empower and engage citizens, support the development of an inclusive and enabling environment, foster resilience, and support social cohesion.
Mercy Corps Tunisia’s strategy adopts a multi-tiered approach to address constraints at the national level, capacity building at the local level; and supporting individual citizens, in particular youth, to build their social capital. Our cross-cutting themes of Peace-building and Citizenship, Gender and Inclusion, Resilience and Migration are integrated into our programs to support an enabling environment in Tunisia where people are empowered, included and engaged with equal access to opportunities.
With our head office in Tunis, we currently have three field offices in Gafsa, Medenine and Jendouba, with programs funded through a variety of donors, including AFD, EC, SDC, Hivos, Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs and ROTA.
