Final evaluation of the SDG16+portfolio: Supporting peace by promoting a peaceful, just, and inclusive society in Tunisia

This document presents the main findings of an evaluation conducted to review the portfolio of projects ‘Supporting peace by promoting a peaceful, just, and inclusive society in Tunisia (SDG16+)’. The portfolio was signed with the Tunisian Presidency of the Government to support Tunisia's development agenda.

The evaluation acknowledges the importance of institution-building efforts at both national and local levels to foster SDG16+ objectives. The evaluation emphasizes the essential contribution of CSOs. It is crucial to strike a balance between cooperation with institutional actors and preserving the autonomy and diversity of civil society. The portfolio made significant efforts in various areas related to good governance, access to justice, and security. While there were achievements in terms of infrastructure rehabilitation, regulatory amendments, community engagement, and legal services, challenges such as delays, political changes, sound monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system, and youth participation remained.
