Commencing in late 2018, Amideast is implementing a 2-year project funded by the US Bureau of Counterterrorism to build the capacity and expand the work of local Tunisian Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) who work directly and indirectly with individuals vulnerable to sympathizing and/or supporting violent extremism. In partnership with two Tunisian partner organizations, Shanti and Jamaity, Amideast is providing training and coaching to approximately 20 nascent and developed Tunisian CSOs to enable them to better design, implement, and monitor interventions that effectively address issues of social exclusion, marginalization, poverty and perceived lack of opportunity. Amideast will provide selective sub-grants to promising projects proposed by CSOs and support them throughout the first year of project implementation.
