Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
The Tunisian Raïdet program expects to launch approximately 1150 projects for women by the end of 2026, funded with an estimated 10 million dinars.
The program will continue implementing Tunisia’s national strategy to promote female entrepreneurship through 2035. It plans to create a national digital platform to help women, particularly in rural areas, sell their products and access markets.
Raïdet will also establish a free helpline to guide aspiring female entrepreneurs to available programs and resources for funding, training, and support. A national initiative will unify the entrepreneurial process across all Tunisian governorates, from project design to post-implementation monitoring. The program includes an evaluation of Raïdet’s performance from 2022-2025, a new funding stream for female graduates of higher education and vocational training, and a draft decree creating a new national entrepreneurship program for women.
Beyond entrepreneurship, the program will dedicate 2 million dinars to create 200 income opportunities for female agricultural workers. It will also strengthen support for mothers at risk of their children dropping out of school in the Kairouan, Kasserine, Sidi Bouzid, Siliana, and Mahdia regions. The Samida program, which supports women experiencing domestic violence, will create 150 income sources with 1.5 million dinars.
Finally, 4 million dinars will fund programs to create roughly 480 income opportunities for vulnerable families, including those impacted by climate change and families with children in care facilities.
