Tunisia Jobs, opportunities, & Business Success Project (JOBS)

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded Jobs, Opportunities and Business Success (JOBS) Activity is a six-year, $77.6 million activity to support small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to create sustainable employment for Tunisians. The Activity’s access to finance and investment component supports improving lending processes to increase access to finance for SMEs, developing new innovative digital tools, and facilitating investment in SMEs by improving deal flow and transparency. By attracting commercial capital to development activities, blended finance creates social impact while offering financial returns to investors, sustainably enlarging the pool of resources available for development finance.
