Contexte

Since the 2011 revolution, Tunisia has anchored the decentralization process in a new constitution, putting cities in the heart of local development processes and making them proactive actors in the planning, implementation and delivering for municipal infrastructure and services. The originality of the strategy developed in Sousse is the implementation of a participatory approach that largely involves civil society but also the services of the state (ex. : water, sanitation, energy). It aims at reaching a common vision of the city development and defining priorities and actions.

Objectifs

The overall goal of the project is to bring better economic, environmental and social conditions through sustainable urban development to the inhabitants of Sousse and its suburbs.

Effets à moyen terme

The project has three main outcomes:
