CESVI – Program Development Manager – Tunisia

Cesvi sta selezionando un/a Program Development Manager da inserire nella sua operatività in Tunisia. Durata 4 mesi. Scadenza candidature 16/08/2020

Program Development Manager – Tunisia

Work Context

Cesvi has been operating in North Africa since 2011 with a diverse donors’ portfolio and serving all vulnerable target population, mainly in Libya. In 2016, due to the deterioration of the security situation in Libya, Cesvi opened an office in Tunisia where it started the procedure to obtain an official registration in the country. The process of registration to operate in Tunisia was finalized in December 2018 and since Cesvi can run development and humanitarian projects in the whole Tunisia’s territory

Although not being operational yet, Cesvi in Tunisia aims gaining a better knowledge about the Tunisian context, identify the main gaps and funding opportunities, and map the operating organizations. For Cesvi is pivotal to capitalize on the expertise built over the years within Libya response. Accordingly, key sectors of interest include migration as cross-cutting approach, children, youth and women’s protection and empowerment. Additionally, Cesvi envisages exploring the following sectors of intervention:  strengthening civil society organizations, support to local development and decentralization, inclusive & sustainable growth (e.g. Income & Employment generation, development of MSME, education and vocational training, gender empowerment), and support to the reintegration of Tunisian returnees. At this regard, considering the relevant Tunisian diaspora living in Italy, potential partnership/collaboration with Cesvi intervention in Italy should be explored.
