Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation SDC
Within the framework of cooperation with Tunisia, the programme developed by the Swiss Confederation aims to involve the Tunisian diaspora in the sustainable development of Tunisia and to promote skilled circular migration between Tunisia and other European countries, including Switzerland.
The aim is to mobilise the capacities of members of the diaspora to invest their financial resources and rebuild links with communities in their country of origin. Young professional graduates are given the opportunity to gain new practical work experience in Switzerland, which will facilitate their reintegration into Tunisia.
The engagement of the Tunisian diaspora in Switzerland.
To facilitate investment and the transfer of know-how between the diaspora and Tunisian SMEs, the programme promotes the development of partnerships between private sector actors and financial institutions.
The aim is to develop innovative promotional instruments that support the flow of finance and the exchange of know-how. This includes identifying and creating institutional platforms for increased diaspora engagement and developing private initiatives in Tunisia.
Development of effective government structures
Activities focus on supporting the Tunisian authorities in building effective local, regional, and strategic governance structures.
The focus is on implementing concrete government measures to integrate migration into the policy framework.

The resources of the diaspora go far beyond the economic dimension, considering the know-how, experience, professional skills, and networks that these people have built up in other countries. To make the most of this potential, the project supports the Tunisian government in creating an effective legal framework. This will align Tunisian development with the new migration strategy and prepare an enabling environment for using human and financial capita
