Senior Program Officer (Tunis 1)-FHI360 Retour vers les opportunités

About Ma3an Project:

Ma3an is a seven-year (2018-2025) USAID-funded project (now in Year 5) 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 Tunisian youth-serving and youth-led organizations to implement promising youth economic empowerment models in Tunisia and to design and apply a youth-led social entrepreneurship program. Ma3an will also work with local partners to design and implement a youth-led youth economic empowerment (YEE) collaborative action planning process that will result in supporting priority solutions within target governorates to improve the economic enabling environment and access to services that empower and expand youth access to economic opportunities.
