The Tunisian diaspora agency, Diwan of Tunisians Abroad, is set to launch a unified national reference system in October 2026. This system aims to provide a comprehensive framework for the reintegration of Tunisian returnees, ensuring their smooth transition back into society. The agency's Director-General, Nabila Bali, announced this development during the "Street Opportunity" event in its seventh edition, held on September 19-20, 2026, at the City of Culture in Tunis.
The "Integration" program, part of the agency's efforts, is designed to protect returning Tunisians and guarantee their economic and social reintegration. This program is a collaboration with the German Development Agency and represents a significant step forward for the Diwan of Tunisians Abroad in enhancing its support mechanisms. The program provides guidance, counseling, and direction in coordination with various national institutions and structures.
According to Nabila Bali, the "Integration" program is a crucial component of the agency's reintegration strategy, which requires a comprehensive approach and targeted support. The program takes into account the specific needs and concerns of returning Tunisians, providing them with relevant services and support. The agency's efforts focus on facilitating access to information, providing guidance, and protecting the rights of Tunisians abroad and returnees.
The Diwan of Tunisians Abroad plays a leading role in migration and support for Tunisians abroad. The agency ensures access to useful and up-to-date information, provides support mechanisms, and protects the rights of Tunisians in their countries of residence and in Tunisia. This is achieved through a network of social attachés in key countries and regional representatives across Tunisia.
The agency's efforts are complemented by partnerships with national and international institutions to ensure the stability of Tunisians abroad and the reintegration of returnees. The agency participated in the "Street Opportunity" event alongside other national and international organizations specializing in employment, job placement, and reintegration.
The "Street Opportunity" event 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, guidance, and counseling on various opportunities, including those available in Germany.
The launch of the unified national reference system is a significant step towards enhancing the reintegration of Tunisian returnees. The system is expected to provide a model for supporting returnees in accessing services and programs related to employment and entrepreneurship, promoting their economic and social reintegration.
