About Ma3an Project:

Ma3an is a seven-year (2018-2025) USAID-funded project with the goal to increase Tunisian youth civic engagement and economic empowerment to advance progress towards sustainable, inclusive development in Tunisia. Ma3an’s objectives include: (1) Youth have improved access to skills, services, and opportunities for civic engagement and economic empowerment, and (2) Tunisian youth lead and meaningfully participate in activities to address youth and community priorities. In its remaining three years, Ma3an will capitalize on the strong foundation of youth leaders, safe spaces, and local partners in its 33 communities and will engage more youth and partners who can offer additional assets to ensure that a wide representation of Tunisia’s most underserved youth can benefit from skills, services, and opportunities they need to secure their livelihoods and contribute to their communities. This includes working with local partners to set up and support a network of youth leaders who can cascade essential skills to their peers and who can propose and lead initiatives that respond to the challenges they are facing. Ma3an will also continue to build the capacity of youth system actors – including safe spaces, youth-serving and youth-led organizations, and youth-community collaboration mechanisms – to better prepare them to not only meet the needs of young people, but to effectively engage them as partners in their work. Ma3an will work with Tunisia’s Ministry of Education (MoE) to update and enhance its Civic Education program in primary and secondary schools and to adapt and apply a Youth Community Service (YCS) program in school civic education clubs that is designed to support young Tunisians to gain civic knowledge, values, and skills by applying them on a community problem that they have prioritized.
