The Centre d'Information, de Formation, d'Etudes et de Documentation sur les associations (IFEDA) is organizing a training session in Tunis on October 20, 2026, aimed at strengthening the networking capacities of associations from various regions. This initiative is part of IFEDA's efforts to enhance the capabilities of associations, promote associative action, and develop communication, cooperation, and coordination mechanisms among civil society components.
The training session, titled "associative networking," seeks to bring together associations from diverse regions to foster collaboration and improve their overall effectiveness. IFEDA has invited interested associations to register online for the session. As a public institution under the tutelage of the Presidency of the Government, IFEDA was established in 2000 by decree n° 688.
IFEDA plays a pivotal role in observing associative activities, collecting and cataloging relevant data, information, and publications in a dedicated database. The center also conducts research and evaluation studies on associations, providing support to help them fulfill their missions through seminars, training sessions, and meetings.
By facilitating interactions among stakeholders in the associative sector, IFEDA aims to create a robust ecosystem that enables associations to thrive and make meaningful contributions to society. The center's activities are geared toward promoting a vibrant and dynamic civil society in Tunisia.
The training session is part of a broader set of initiatives aimed at enhancing the capacities of associations in Tunisia. Recently, the country has seen various efforts to boost different sectors, including the pharmaceutical industry, which is accelerating its transition toward electronic Common Technical Document (e-CTD).
Other recent developments in Tunisia include the country's push to reduce the cost of solar energy, with professionals in the sector advocating for more affordable and accessible renewable energy solutions. Additionally, the Centre for Promotion of Exports (CEPEX) is exploring new markets in Tanzania to expand Tunisia's export base.
Meanwhile, three Tunisian researchers have been recognized in the Top1000 Scholar 2026 rankings for their outstanding contributions to geology. The Tunisian government is also working with the World Bank to accelerate and diversify cooperation on various projects.
