Tunisia Employment Minister on Community Stability

The Minister of Employment and Vocational Training, Riad Shoud, revealed that Tunisia plans to establish 1,200 new community-based companies across various regions. The goal is to expand the current economic model, transforming it from a limited experiment into a key component of the national economy. To date, there are approximately 270 existing companies, with around one thousand more in the process of being established. This reflects a growing interest and a push for local development. Experiences from some companies, such as the local transportation firm "Al-Abadila" and efforts to valorize forest products, demonstrate the potential to convert local resources into economic projects capable of producing, employing, and sustaining themselves—despite challenges related to financing and infrastructure. The government is working to improve the financing system and streamline the establishment procedures through electronic platforms. It emphasizes that success will not be measured solely by the number of companies, but by their ability to produce, generate stable employment, earn profits, and promote their products. The new phase focuses on proving economic viability and transforming these companies into local economic forces capable of competing and achieving sustainable development.
