The caravan, which kicked off on October 5, 2026, in the governorate of Medenine, is set to travel across seven governorates, including Qafsa, Tozeur, and Kébili, over two months. Organized in collaboration with several partners, including the Central Bank of Tunisia, the International Organization of La Francophonie, and the United Nations Development Programme, the initiative seeks to foster a culture of financial literacy and promote sustainable investment.
The caravan's primary objective is to raise awareness about the importance of financial education and inclusion among various segments of society, while supporting entrepreneurship and sustainable investment in the regions. Through regional meetings, the caravan brings together stakeholders from the financial system and supporting structures for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises. The Tunisian Bank for Financing Micro and Small Enterprises is one of the key participants, showcasing its products and services for financing micro and small enterprises.
The caravan's itinerary includes stops in several governorates, with the next destinations being Gabès on October 8-9, 2026, and Kébili on October 12-13, 2026. The caravan will resume its activities in November, visiting Qafsa on November 2-3, Tataouine on November 5-6, Tozeur on November 9-10, and finally, Kairouan on November 12-13, 2026.
