Launch of FORTER'ESS Project - Strengthening the resilience and promotion of decent work of women-led SSE organizations in Tunisia
The FORTER’ESS project is the result of a partnership between the Tunisian Government, the Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as donor, and the International Labour Organization as implementing agency. It aims to strengthen the resilience of women-led Social and Solidarity Economy Organizations (SSEOs) affected by COVID-19 in two disadvantaged regions of Tunisia.

This explains the urgent need to provide support to these organisations to ensure their survival and to enable them to continue their development, expand their activities and services so that they continue to play a vital role in the economic and social empowerment of thousands of women.

- Consolidation of SSE women's organisations in two disadvantaged regions;
- Improvement of workplace protection and working conditions of women entrepreneurs and workers in women-led SSEOs in two disadvantaged regions;
- Establishment of an inclusive, equitable and favourable ecosystem for SSE and its organisations.
