Evidence snapshot for Tunisia
Tunisia has pursued multi-sector development reforms with documented results across urban infrastructure, startup innovation, and rural connectivity. PRIQH rehabilitated 155 low-income neighbourhoods reaching 865,000 residents through a 617-million-dinar programme between 2012 and 2024, while Tunisia's Startup Act created 4,500 jobs and TND 240 million in cumulative revenue by end-2021, with labelled startups growing to 1,043 by 2024. A rural broadband project connected 94 white-zone sectors across 15 governorates to 4G, reaching approximately 180,000 people, 164 schools and 59 health centres. However, evidence on sustained outcomes is limited — post-project evaluations for the broadband initiative are unavailable, and startup growth remains heavily concentrated in Tunis (70%) with minimal female founder participation (5%).
