Two analyses - one of the constraints to the long-term growth of the Tunisian economy, especially its manufacturing sector, the other of the high administrative burden and lack of coherent focus of A.I.D.'s Private Sector Development Project (PSDP) - preface this strategy for the future development of Tunisia's private sector. It is recommended that USAID help Tunisia alleviate constraints on production of export goods by redesigning the PSDP to focus on export promotion issues. Specifically, the project should: (1) establish a loan fund to finance the goods and equipment needed by small and medium exporters, and a hard currency fund for exclusive use by Tunisie Leasing clients; (2) use funds from the Financial Markets project for a constraint analysis study, long-term TA to Tunisia's financial sector, and mid-level commercial and development bank staff seminars; (3) strengthen the capacity of the Federation of Exporters (FEDEX) to provide market information and product development services to its members; and (4) help the Tunisian Union of Industry, Commerce, and Small Business (UTICA) become the focus of ongoing analysis of Tunisian export policies.

When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate.
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
A few documents to read first. Each opens in the side panel, with the PDF to download.
