Summary:

The CTRS project is an initiative of the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) in Tunisia. The project interventions focus on cooperation with the Tunisian Government in line with its efforts in strengthening Tunisia’s links with its diaspora and to promoting the diaspora’s engagement in Tunisia’s national and local development.

1. Institutional capacities of the Tunisian Government to accompany its citizens residing abroad.
2. Development initiatives
3. Know-how transfer
4. Facilitation of an agreement between Switzerland and Tunisia for the exchange of young professionals
