Implementation Status and Key Decisions
The project continues to support strategic elements of Tunisia's development agenda, and its relevance is reinforced in light of the COVID-19
pandemic response (particularly with regard to trade facilitation and the digitalization agenda). As of June 2022, a number of activities were
delivered (including for example strengthening the operations at the Port of Rades, delivering innovative firm-level support, and supporting the
overhaul of the legal and regulatory framework for export guarantees). A restructuring of the project is being contemplated to focus on more
performing activities and those that could be completed by the closing date of the project.
