ACEA Project:

FHI 360 is implementing 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.

CURES Project:

This project is funded by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs Office of Assistance Coordination and the aim of this project is to improve scientific research in Tunisia to better prevent and treat non-communicable diseases (NCDs) through the establishment of a simulation center that allows doctors and medical students to apply research and test new technologies and treatments. This opportunity aims to improve healthcare quality in Tunisia and strengthen the business climate to become more conducive to private sector-led growth.
