The International Center for Innovative Local Governance (CILG) held a workshop on Tuesday in Tunis to officially launch the program “Support for Economic Development and Job Creation at the Local Level in Tunisia.”
A framework partnership agreement was signed on this occasion between the center and the Ministry of Vocational Training and Employment. Under this agreement, the center undertakes to provide training and support to 600 young people to help them integrate into the job market and to help 200 young entrepreneurs finalize their business projects.
It is also a matter of supporting municipalities in order to create development projects that generate direct jobs and create economic dynamism at the local level. Naila Akremi, Director General of CILG, emphasized on this occasion that the program to support economic development and job creation, financed by the Danish government with investments of around 700,000 euros, is part of supporting municipal action in Tunisia.
The program will cover the regions of Kef, Siliana, Le Sers, Kasserine, Tala, Sidi Bouzid, Medenine, Ben Guerdane, Dhehiba, Baja, and Jendouba. She added that this program aims, in particular, to support local economic development, reduce the unemployment rate, and help Tunisia boost the development process through job creation and consolidation of infrastructure projects.
It is also a matter of providing training to unemployed young people and helping them to become self-employed. The Minister of Vocational Training and Employment, Abdelwaheb Maatar, announced on this occasion that one hundred agreements have been signed since February 2012 in Tunisia to promote employment. The workshop program includes several presentations focusing on the following topics: “Decentralization, local economic development, and job creation,” “the national strategy for development and employment,” “Local economic development and the potential of entrepreneurship,” “Civil society and the municipality facing the challenge of promoting employment at the local level.”
