National Report 2021

Tunisia has been involved in the implementation of the New Urban Agenda emanating from the Habitat III conference, especially since the principles of the plan are fused with the orientations, strategies and policies adopted in Tunisia. However, many difficulties hindered the implementation of the agenda, the most important ones are:

  • An economic crisis that the country has been experiencing since 2011: high unemployment before the Corona pandemic, high public debt, low growth rate, high inflation and trade deficit, and declining hard currency reserves.
  • The global Corona pandemic, which caused a crisis that was accompanied by an economic and social crisis: loss of jobs, an increase in the level of violence, and an increase in the number of mental illnesses.
  • Political crisis: political instability, as 10 prime ministers have rotated to lead the government since 2011.
