COLLABORATIVE ACTION FOR THE EXPORT OF HANDICRAFT PRODUCTS 

(ACEA) PROJECT

Period of Performance:    From May 20 to July 27, 2022

Place of Performance: Tunisia

Program Background:

ACEA Tunisia (Action Collaborative pour les Exportations Artisanales, or “Collaborative Action for the Export of Handicraft Products”) is a 4-year project funded by the U.S. Department of State and implemented by FHI 360. Its goal is to help artisans, especially those who are socially or geographically marginalized, to commercialize their products, and hence promote greater social and economic equity. Where possible, the project places a special emphasis on assisting artisans to export.

This project is helping to empower artisans and local communities by guiding and advising them using a cluster approach. Members of the Cluster (beneficiaries) meet in workshops and work in groups to learn and share various skills, in conjunction with relevant support entities and technical experts. To date, ACEA has launched cluster development activities in two sectors in Tunisia: essential oils and related natural products (Northwest Tunisia), olive wood kitchenware and tableware (in Sfax and Sidi BouZid) and Margoum and Kilim weaving in Toujane (Gabes) and Belkhir (Gafsa).
