The World Bank’s Vice President for North Africa and the Middle East, Osman Dion, stressed the continuity of assistance to Tunisia in implementing its comprehensive programs that enhance human capital and support food, water, and energy security.

During a meeting with Tunisian Prime Minister Ahmed El Hachani at the Government Palace in the Kasbah, on an official visit to Tunisia lasting several days, the two parties discussed the progress achieved in the projects currently funded by the Bank and explored future prospects for cooperation.

Al-Hashani also chaired an expanded working session that included a delegation from the World Bank and a number of Tunisian ministers, where the current and future programs supported by the Bank were discussed.

The session touched on multiple topics, including social security, health, energy, agriculture, water, food security, higher education and scientific research, as well as adapting to climate change and supporting small and medium enterprises.

The World Bank provides important support to Tunisia through programs and projects that promote economic growth. In March 2024, the World Bank approved two new loans to Tunisia worth $520 million, to support food security and reduce regional disparities.

These loans included financing the electrical interconnection project between Tunisia and Italy, and a project to support partnership between the public and private sectors in the field of sanitation.
