The “SUPPORT PROJECT FOR THE PREVENTION,
PREPARATION AND RESPONSE TO CRISES IN TUNISIA”, implemented by the UNDP, launches a call for proposals intended for civil society

Interior has implemented a “Tunisian police model of proximity

the field and is based on openness, transparency and partnership with civil
society.
