LESSON

Lesson Learned: Support for Democratic Transition and Promotion of Citizenship

Participation of members of the partner agencies and of the local organisations was remarkably high, particularly in the training sessions. The students and the rural women also responded in a very positive way to the project interventions. However, young adults who were not in education were mores hesitant about getting involved.

Project Description
The project intended to tackle the low level of civic participation in the disadvantaged rural zones of central Tunisia and to boost the civic commitment of those populations. In addition to strengthening the capacity of local actors to transmit information about the election process, the project aimed to increase awareness of and participation of targeted groups - women, young adults and adolescents - in the mechanisms and the activities of Tunisian civil society. Taking into account the profile of the grantee’s partner organizations and the available resources, not all of the project’s objectives were realistic or achievable. The partners introduced important modifications to the expected results during project implementation and there were several delays which affected the way that activities were implemented.
