Private sector involvement in the CwA Country Team was promoted through the participatory approach of Public-Private Dialogues (PPDs), which collectively identify priority measures to improve Tunisia’s investment climate. To accomplish this objective, 13 thematic task forces - composed of public and private representatives - conducted multiple sessions to reach a consensus over a set of priority measures. The first set of 27 measures was approved during the Ministerial Council held on October 3, 2022.
The Ministerial Council approved a second set of 160 measures structured around an overall strategy on December 27, 2022. Technical and methodological expertise, funded by the CwA Multi-donor Trust Fund, supported these dialogues - strengthening the capacity of the CwA Task Force to identify and prioritize reforms more effectively.
