Tunis
The Foundation's work abroad began with the opening of an office in Tunisia in 1964. About 50 years later, in 2011, a new phase started for the Foundation in the context of the Tunisian revolution. In addition to the long-established areas of work (e.g. journalist training, economic policy), we are devoted to the promotion of liberal principles and to political education. The goal of the foundation is to advance the principles of human rights, rule of law, freedom of press and democracy.
We celebrate Freedom with innovative tools !

برامج الطاقات المتجددة في تونس المنجز والتحديات
تواجه تونس حاليا عجزا كبيرا في الطاقة، والذي ارتفع مؤخرا إلى 54%، بعد أن كان 10% في عام 2010. ومن الممكن أن يمهد النهج الاستباقي المتعدد القطاعات الطريق لتسريع مشاريع الطاقة المتجددة. لقد كانت الطاقة المتجددة حجر الزاوية في السياسات الحكومية منذ الثمانينيات، لكن هذه المبادرات لم تعالج بشكل فعال بعد العجز المتزايد في الطاقة، والذي كان في ارتفاع كبير منذ العقد الأول من القرن الحادي والعشرين

Stabilizing Democracies in the European Neighborhood Lessons from Lebanon and Tunisia
More than a decade after the “Arab Spring” swept away long-established dictatorships across the MENA region, an authoritarian claustrophobia has returned to many if not all societies in the region. The effervescence of civil society, led and inspired by the energy and demographic dominance of youth, has evaporated into a stillness of disappointment, disorientation, resignation. Overwhelming international commitment to support democratic change in the region was not able to turn the odds in favour of a lasting establishment of democratic norms, institutions and processes. This discussion paper, commissioned jointly by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom and Democracy Reporting International, aims to take stock of the lessons that can be learned, from the perspective of political and civil society actors in Tunisia and Lebanon, and to develop recommendations for a critical review of concepts, methods, and strategies of international democracy support.
