EFE-Tunisie is a local non-profit association that addresses youth unemployment in Tunisia by providing young women and men with skills and tools to find a job or start a business, build their future and give back to their communities. EFE-Tunisie is the newest of the EFE affiliates in the Middle East and North Africa region. It started operating in May 2012.
EFE-Tunisie was launched with support from the US Department of State Office of the Middle East Partnership Initiative (MEPI). In just a few months, EFE-Tunisie was legally registered as a non-profit association in Tunisia, recruited a strong founding Board of Directors comprised of prominent Tunisian business and civil society leaders, and recruited talented local staff members to lead its training programs and job placement initiatives.
