The Need in Tunisia
Tunisia has an employment rate that is higher than that found in many developing countries, yet securing employment in formal jobs is difficult for uneducated people who typically live in the poorer suburbs.
Increasing numbers of women have discovered that self-employment through microenterprise allows them to earn a reasonable living even without having the advantage of years of schooling. Many of the women work out of their homes as it allows them to give their children the education that they were denied.
MFIs will also be able to access Mifos, Grameen Foundation’s innovative, open-source platform for information management. Details of our technical assistance to MFIs can be found in our Toolbox.
