The 2011 revolution was a powerful expression of Tunisians’ desire to have their voice heard in the economic and political life of their country. Following the 2011 Revolution, the Government of Tunisia embarked on a series of efforts to improve the quality of governance, advance administrative reforms, fight corruption, increase social inclusion, and reduce regional disparities. USAID Tunisia supports these efforts through economic and governance assistance programs that promote both economic participation and democratic consolidation.
Activities:
The Tunisia Accountability, Decentralization, and Effective Municipalities (TADAEEM or “Consolidation”) project is a four year project that works with Tunisian government officials and other partners – especially at the local and regional levels – to help them develop more effective ways to provide necessary public services to the people for whom they are responsible. In doing so, TADAEEM will help ensure that these services are provided in a way that is inclusive, efficient and accountable. The goal is to help the Tunisian government to better respond to the needs of the Tunisian people. (see more)

The Domestic Election Monitoring in Tunisia program is strengthening the integrity of Tunisia’s political processes in the run-up to 2019’s parliamentary and presidential elections. Building on previous USAID assistance for the 2011, 2014 and 2018 elections, USAID’s activities help foster capable citizen oversight of the national elections—currently scheduled for late 2019 – and building upon established groundwork for greater citizen oversight of the performance of elected officials. The program supports a number of Tunisian civil society organizations to conduct comprehensive election observation of the elections. Additionally, the program also supports Tunisian civil society organizations and media outlets engaged in civic and voter education efforts, with a particular focus on youth, women, and persons with disabilities.
