PARTNERS
Based on peer exchanges, the project seeks to strengthen synergies between Tunisian and European public policies and to maximise the benefits of migration for Tunisia.
The specific objectives of the project are:
• Professional mobility: strengthening the capacity of the Tunisian authorities to manage labour migration and professional mobility through increased cooperation with European partners;
• Mobilisation of Tunisian living abroad: improving knowledge about the main Tunisian communities in Europe and implementing a targeted programme to mobilise the diaspora skills in order to promote the integration of migration into the local and regional development;
• Return and reintegration: strengthening the capacity of the Tunisian authorities and civil society organisations to provide support for the reintegration of people returning to the country.
This three-year project is part of the EU-Tunisia Mobility Partnership signed in 2014 between the European Union, Tunisia and ten EU Member States: Belgium, Denmark, Spain, France, Italy, Poland, Portugal, the UK and Sweden. Funded by the European Union, it is implemented by Expertise France.

Mobility and international migration
Migration and mobility are a major human, social and economic development issue for departure, transit and destination countries. In this respect, the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations for 2015-2030 call for the promotion of informed governance and management mechanisms to address migration challenges, aiming to "facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people, including through the implementation of planned and well-managed migration policies”.
