Communauté tunisienne résidente en Suisse (CTRS) pour le développement

The authorities in Tunisia have expressed the need to develop new framework conditions to benefit from the financial investments and social capital of migrants leaving abroad. To do so partnerships with the civil society and the private sector, and intensified interactions with the migrants leaving abroad, are needed. The Global Programme Migration and Development of SDC supports the Programme Office in Tunis in this process and facilitates the outreach to the organisation of the Tunisian community residing in Switzerland (Communauté tunisienne résidente en Suisse CTRS).
