The African Development Bank initiated in July 2012 a Partnership called Souk At-tanmia in order to respond concretely to the key concerns and expectations of young Tunisians and to tackle the issues of unemployment and regional disparities that are prevailing in the country. The initiative is, to date, the largest known mobilization of partners in the country to support entrepreneurship, gathering about 20 entities, including donors, public and private sector entities as well as Civil Society Organizations and academic institutions. The Partnership intends to fight unemployment in Tunisia by fostering the emergence of a new generation of aspiring young entrepreneurs having no access to the necessary funding and support to start their businesses.
