The Tunisian diaspora agency, Diwan of Tunisians Abroad, is set to launch a unified national reference system in October to enhance the reintegration of Tunisian returnees. The system aims to provide a comprehensive framework for supporting returnees in their economic and social reintegration. This initiative is part of the agency's efforts to improve the services offered to Tunisians living abroad and those returning to the country.
The agency's Director-General, Nabila Bali, announced the upcoming launch of the system during the "Street Opportunity" event in its seventh edition, held on September 19-20, 2026, at the Culture City in Tunis. Bali highlighted the importance of the "Integration" project, which is implemented in collaboration with the German Development Agency, in providing support to returnees and promoting their economic and social reintegration.
The "Integration" project is designed to provide a comprehensive approach to reintegration, including counseling, guidance, and support in accessing services and programs related to employment and entrepreneurship. The project is part of the agency's efforts to strengthen its mechanisms for supporting Tunisians living abroad and those returning to the country.
Diwan of Tunisians Abroad plays a leading role in migration and supporting Tunisians living abroad, ensuring access to useful and up-to-date information, and providing support and protection for their rights. The agency has a network of social attachés in several countries and regional delegates across Tunisia, providing support to Tunisians living abroad and those returning to the country.
The agency's efforts are focused on promoting international cooperation to support the stability of Tunisians living abroad and the reintegration of returnees. Bali emphasized the importance of coordination between different national institutions and international organizations to ensure the success of reintegration efforts.
The "Street Opportunity" event, organized by the Tunisian Employment Agency, the Tunisian-German Center for Migration and Development, aimed to highlight opportunities in education, training, and employment for young people, both in Tunisia and internationally. The event provided a platform for participants to access information and guidance on employment and entrepreneurship opportunities.
The launch of the unified national reference system is expected to enhance the agency's efforts to support Tunisian returnees and promote their economic and social reintegration. The system will provide a comprehensive framework for supporting returnees, including access to services and programs related to employment and entrepreneurship.
