Tunisia - Technical and Technological Skill-Building Support Project (PADCTT)

The Technical and Technological Skill-Building Support Programme is consistent with Tunisia’s 2016 - 2020 Development Plan, which includes human development among national priorities with the objective of enhancing education system performance and improving employability. The project supports the following two pillars: (i) building the technical, technological and scientific skills of graduates to ensure employability; and (ii) digital skill building and inclusive access to student services. Accordingly, special emphasis has been laid on promoting the diversification of academic profiles to enhance employability and professional integration in response to the economic and social development needs of Tunisia, as well as on equity and quality of learning. The project will be implemented over a five-year period at a total estimated cost of EUR 144 million.
