Tunisians figure disproportionately among the foreign jihadist cohort, yet their ubiquity is somewhat confounding. Why Tunisians?

    Summary Environmental and Social Management Plan Project Name : Treated Wastewater Quality Improvement Project Project Number : P - TN - EBA - 001 Country : Republic of Tunisia Department : OWAS Division : OWAS.2 1. Brief Description of the Project and Key Environmental and Social Components 1.1 This project benefitting about 3963 419 people, will help to improve the performance of sanitation services and the quality of treated wastewater (TWW) through 30 wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) distributed in 17 Governorates. The project will be implemented from 2012 to 2016, comprising a series of operations under two components (A and B) aimed respectively at: (i) upgrading sanitation facilities by overhauling the water and sludge systems and transfer networks, and establishing remote monitoring and management systems; (ii) building the capacity of the National Sanitation Agency (ONAS) through assistance for studies, works monitoring and control, participation in training, procurement of operating equipment and project management. These operations will be implemented at a total cost of UA 33.30 million or TND 73.67 million, financed to the tune of 88% by the Bank and 12% by the Tunisian Government. 1.2 The project, which includes social, environmental and economic dimensions and is classified under the Bank’s Environmental and Social Category 2, fits in perfectly with the country’s 12th Economic and Social Development Plan covering the 2010-2014 period as well as the comprehensive approach adopted by Tunisia for promoting integrated water resources management as part of the 2030-2050 long-term strategy. It will contribute to achieving one of ONAS’ strategic objectives, which is attaining a 50% TWW reuse rate by 2016.

  • Analysis of the Tunisian Tax Incentives Regime
    Analysis of the Tunisian Tax Incentives Regime March 2013 OECD Paris, France Analysis of the Tunisian Tax Incentives Regime OECD mission, 5-9 November 2012 “…We are working with Tunisia, who joined the Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters in July 2012, to review its tax incentives regime and to support its efforts to develop a new investment law.” Remarks by Angel Gurría, OECD Secretary-General, delivered at the Deauville Partnership Meeting of the Finance Ministers in Tokyo, 12 October 2012 1. Executive Summary This analysis of the Tunisian tax incentives regime was conducted by the OECD Tax and Development Programme1 at the request of the Tunisian Ministry of Finance. Following discussions with the government, the OECD agreed to conduct a review of the Tunisian tax incentive system within the framework of the Principles to Enhance the Transparency and Governance of Tax Incentives for Investment in Developing Countries.2 As requested by the Tunisian authorities, the objective of this review was to understand the current system’s bottlenecks and to propose changes to improve efficiency of the system in terms of its ability to mobilise revenue on the one hand and to attract the right kind of investment on the other. The key findings are based on five days of intensive consultations and analysis. Key Findings and Recommendations A comprehensive tax reform effort, including tax policy and tax administration, is critical in the near term to mobilize domestic resources more effectively. The tax reform programme should include, but not be limited to, the development of a new Investment Incentives Code, aimed at transforming the incentives scheme.
