The project is a 2024-2027 joint initiative between the European Union and the Council of Europe and is part of the Economic governance support programme (Programme d’Appui à la Gouvernance Économique, PAGE) which seeks to support economic transition by strengthening the economic governance and improving the business and investment climate in Tunisia.

The Project Improving economic governance by fighting corruption in Tunisia builds on the 2019 - 2023 Tunisia anti-corruption project, a component of the larger initiative Project to support the independent bodies in Tunisia (PAII-T), which provided targeted technical assistance to Tunisian authorities active in the fight and prevention of corruption.

The overall expected impact of the Project is that key Tunisian institutions involved in the fight against corruption, as well as both houses of Parliament, will have the best capacities to develop, effectively implement and monitor anti-corruption policies and measures.

In working toward the above-stated goal, the project aims at achieving the following outcomes:

• Outcome 1      Parliament is supported in introducing an effective and sustainable framework for managing corruption and integrity risks for its members.
• Outcome 2      The capacity of anti-corruption stakeholders as well as of public officials and managers in the public and private sectors to design and implement effective anti-corruption policies are strengthened.
