This programme is based on a partnership with local NGO’s and aims to temporarily employ (4-6 months) around 3 000 lowly skilled and unemployed individuals in 100 projects, while also improving the local infrastructure base. The projects will be identified by the NGO’s in collaboration with the local population. Such partnerships with the NGO sector are a promising way forward as they allow the Tunisian Government to rapidly compensate capacity constraints it may face in its own administration. They are usually the primary government institution responsible for implementing active labour market programmes. Tunisia’s PES, the Agence Nationale pour I 'Emploi et le Travail Independant (ANETI) [National Employment and Self-Employment Agency] was established in 1973.
