1. Strengthening the protective environment and providing durable solutions for the most vulnerable 
2. Strengthening civil society and local governance 
3. Inclusive and sustainable economic growth 

In Tunisia, Acted is providing development assistance and support to the most vulnerable across the country, whilst also supporting nascent civil society, businesses, and local governance initiatives. Acted has implemented several projects over the years, either as the Lead Agency or as the technical support within a consortium of local CSOs. More specifically, Acted has contributed to promote the active role of Tunisian youth in public life and in local development through building bridges between young people in the Maghreb region. 

The Project Development Officer will be part of the Programme Development Department and support Acted’s mission in Libya and Tunisia. 

The project “Coordinated Response to the Rise of Violent Extremism in Tunisia”, operating in five governorates including Kasserine, Kef, Sidi Bouzid, Jendouba, and Tunis, aims to raise awareness among Tunisian youth, particularly in regions hardest hit by economic and social crises, to combat stereotypes and extremist discourse. In partnership with various local stakeholders and ministries, it seeks to develop innovative approaches to promote intercultural dialogue, gender equality, and active citizenship participation. The main challenges lie in the need to strengthen youth confidence in institutions, effectively coordinate actions at the local level, and ensure the sustainability of extremism prevention initiatives while addressing the specific needs of the most vulnerable regions.
