Tunisia isn't exactly a hot spot for volunteer work in Africa not least because it is 98% Arab and Arab speaking and not exactly poor coming in at position 95 out of 189 countries and territories when ranked in terms of life expectancy, literacy, access to knowledge and the living standards of a country in 2019. It was also
ruled undemocratically by President Ben Ali until he was
forced to flee to Saudi Arabia in what was known as the
"Arab Spring" of 2011. The only real change since then
as Tunisia emerges as a fledgling, hesitant democracy
has been the fall in foreign income from tourism
following the instability of 2011 from which the country
has yet to recover.
Most volunteer work in Tunisia, such as there is, tends to be met within Tunisia itself;
i.e. just like in any other developed country where needs are identified they are met by volunteer groups arranging then deploying their own resources internally. One exception to this is the Tunisian Red Crescent who are primarily engaged in working delivering
humanitarian aid around Tunisia's borders with Libya where the ongoing conflict within Libya is piling pressure on and around the border area.
Please note that many volunteer opportunities in Tunisia were disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic which led to the permanent closure of some volunteer opportunities and restrictions on others. Hopefully things are now beginning to return to normal. If you run or
know of a volunteer work project in Tunisia let us know by
contacting us here. We look forward
to hearing from you!
