Tunisia : Understanding Successful Socioeconomic Development, A Joint World Bank–Islamic Development Bank Evaluation of Assistance
Get PDFTunisia has successfully shifted from
resource-based exports dominated by oil and gas to
manufactures and services. The economy is now driven mainly
by textile, electrical, mechanical, and food processing
exports; tourism and related activities; and production of
olives and cereals. Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth
has been rising consistently, increasing from 3 percent
annually over 1985-90 to more than 5 percent annually over
1996-02. Today, with a per capita income of US$2,000,
Tunisians enjoy more than two-and-a-half times the real
incomes that their parents had 30 years ago. Tunisia signed
an association agreement with the European Union (EUAA) that
provides for free trade in manufacturing by 2008. The
European Union (EU) has been Tunisia's dominant trading
partner; the region is the source of 67 percent of capital
flows into Tunisia, accounts for a large share of
Tunisia's tourism market, and is the region with the
largest community of expatriate Tunisians. This dominance
renders Tunisia's economy vulnerable to adverse
developments in the EU
The Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Islamic Development Bank: The regional dimension of humanitarian diplomacy
No full textThis paper analyses the role of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) during crises, considering their limits and potential.
Besides the diplomatic role in negotiating and mediating access to aid for vulnerable populations, another concept emerges in this analysis: the financial aspect of humanitarian diplomacy. While actors at different levels have to negotiate for access to aid, at the same time this access requires financial sustainability that can contribute to improving the resilience of vulnerable communities. For this purpose, OIC and IsDB can mobilise innovative financing mechanisms when they intervene for ensuring access to aid for conflict-affected populations and play a crucial role in creating a space of dialogue between the international and local levels.
Altea Pericoli is a Doctoral Researcher at the Catholic University of Milan and a visiting PhD at Durham University, the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, and the Chr. Michelsen Institute (CMI).
This paper has been published by the Norwegian Centre for Humanitarian Studies (NCHS), a joint initiative of CMI, the Norwegian Institute of Interational Affairs (NUPI) and the Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO). The NCHS promotes humanitarian research and brings together scholars, practitioners and policy makers to facilitate discussion on humanitarian related issues.
