Evidence snapshot for Tunisia
Tunisia has pursued three major infrastructure and economic-development initiatives since 2017. PRIQH rehabilitated 155 low-income neighbourhoods reaching 865,000 residents and 172,000 homes between 2012 and 2024, while the Startup Act created a dedicated legal status that labelled 1,043 startups by 2024, generating 4,500 jobs and enabling labelled startups to raise $782 million in annual funding by 2023. Rural broadband coverage was extended to 94 underserved sectors via the Zones Blanches project, connecting approximately 180,000 inhabitants, 164 schools and 59 health centres by 2022. However, the evidence shows geographic concentration risks—70% of labelled startups remain Tunis-based, and only 5% are women-only founded—and no post-project evaluations are documented for the broadband initiative.
