During this period, Tunisia experienced a health, economic, social and political crisis that impacted the lives of the population and in particular that of young people, women and the most vulnerable.

It is within the framework of its support to Tunisia that UNFPA has supported the country's efforts to serve the most vulnerable and in particular migrants by ensuring access to information to approximately 50,000 migrants in relation to their rights and 2,000 to sexual and reproductive health services.

We have ensured, with our partners in particular the Ministry of Social Affairs, the advocacy for the promotion of the rights of people living with disabilities through the strengthening of 35 stakeholders on the Convention on the rights of people with disabilities.

About 900 women victims of violence were able to access to counselling and care services, empowerment and capacity building thanks to the support of UNFPA through civil society. Awareness-raising actions among adolescent’s students to prevent gender-based violence have been implemented during this period.

Youth is one of our strong programs, thus in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and other partners we continue to advocate for the integration of sex education in and outside schools. . We ensured our support to the National Youth Observatory for the development of the youth, peace and security strategy. Our support to the Ministry of Youth, Sport and Professional Integration has extended to the creation of a center of excellence for youth in the Arab world.

We have worked for the promotion of maternal and neonatal health through the extension of the essential package of maternal and neonatal health in 5 regions of Tunisia and through the implementation of the Maternal and Neonatal health strategy.

Lastly , our effort focused on supporting the improvement of the civil and vital statistics , through our partnership with the National Statics Office and the Institute of Public Health, in order to analyze the exhaustiveness and quality of the registration of deaths and births in Tunisia as well as the analysis of the causes of death in Tunisia. Furthermore, to improve the coordination of the collection and analysis of data from civil and vital statistics registries, we supported the activation of the national committee on CRVS.
