Synopsis (short abstract) The RWEE Project is based on specific benificiaries needs in Tunisia, which is the first country selected in the NENA region. This project is extended to five years (2022–2027) and takes into consideration the specific context of Tunisia across two governorates: Kairouan and Jendouba. The RWEE project reaches 3 000 beneficiaries and includes 14 400 household members. The programme will target 2 220 women and 780 men as direct beneficiaries. This programme is considered an example of four UN System agencies (FAO, PAM, IFAD, UN WOMEN) successfully coordinating for more added value in the implementation of project activities.
